Beyond the name J. Lemm, the record offers few details about the subject, and that title comes from caption cards or the negative itself without independent verification. The plate is a glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, a format news photographers relied on before flexible film became standard. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded around 1900 that sold pictures of people and events to newspapers. The collection is useful for seeing how such agencies handled large numbers of small, quickly labeled negatives.
