The record names a sitter only as "Wm. Ziegler," and the Bain News Service's own title is unverified, so the identity should be treated as provisional. If the subject is the businessman William Ziegler, he made his fortune from Royal Baking Powder and later financed the Ziegler Polar Expedition to the Arctic in 1903 to 1905. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers, produced glass negatives like this one in large numbers, and the missing date leaves the exact year of the picture open.
