The record gives this picture only a name, "E. McCall," and the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service. It survives as a single glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, one of many that the New York agency made for newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. The record lacks a date, so the sitter's identity and the occasion remain uncertain. The Bain collection as a whole documents American public life, and its glass negatives show the photographic practice of that era.
