The only identifying detail in this record is the title, "Chamlee," a surname that appears on the caption card or negative sleeve as the Bain News Service recorded it. The record does not say who Chamlee was, when the picture was made, or what it shows, so the title's accuracy has not been confirmed. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made up of glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers from the early 1900s into the 1920s. Those negatives are valued for documenting people and events of that era, and a name-only title like this one often calls for checking the original caption cards.
