The record names only a person, D.H. Wolfe, and a New York City setting, and it notes that the title comes from caption information that has not been verified. The negative is a glass plate of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, the format commonly used by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Little else is documented about the sitter or the occasion, so the image is best read as a small surviving record of the agency's portrait work and of the city's working press. Its glass base is also a reminder that many of these negatives were made for fast newspaper use rather than for display.
