This glass negative is catalogued under the single word "Homer," a title the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or caption cards and that the Library of Congress has not verified, so the subject it shows is uncertain. The negative is small, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, the format Bain's staff commonly used for news and portrait work. George Grantham Bain founded the Bain News Service in New York in 1899, and its pictures of public figures, events, and everyday street life were sold to newspapers and magazines. Because the agency worked quickly and often labeled images from short captions, its titles and dates are sometimes incomplete, and researchers usually check the image against other records.
