Among the many Bain portraits, this glass negative isolates one man, Theodore Bauer, cropped from the head to the shoulders. The Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain in the early 1900s, supplied newspapers with photographs on tight deadlines, and portraits like this were often made for quick identification. The catalog gives no date, and the name rests on unverified caption cards, so the exact year and the sitter's role remain open. Glass plates of this size were a workhorse of news photography before flexible film took over.
