This glass negative is catalogued under the name J.M. Hickson, but the record notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity remains uncertain. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that Bain established around 1899 and that supplied news pictures to newspapers into the 1920s. The Bain plates, made on glass in sizes of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, capture public figures, local scenes, and everyday life of the period. Viewers should treat the name as a lead to be checked against other sources rather than as settled fact.
