The record identifies this glass negative only by the name Elliot Shaw, a label the Bain News Service attached to the negative or its caption card, and the library has not verified it. No date is recorded, so the sitter's role and the moment of exposure remain uncertain. George Grantham Bain built his New York agency around the wire-service demands of the early twentieth century, selling news and portrait pictures to newspapers and magazines. Its glass negatives, typically 5 x 7 inches or smaller, were made for quick reproduction, and their captions were often written in haste, so a name like this one is worth checking against other sources.
