Its title, "Tshakste," comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service, and the record gives no date or confirmed place, so the subject cannot be pinned down from the catalog alone. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of news pictures made by a New York agency that began around 1899 and sold photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of press photographers of that period. The picture is best read as an example of that wider news-photography practice.
