This portrait is catalogued under the name Joachim G. Giaver, though the title field gives a variant spelling, so the record leaves some doubt about the exact form. The sitter is identified only by name, and no date or occasion is recorded. The image survives as an 8 by 10 inch glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of that period, and they record the portrait studio and press practices of the time.
