The title on this glass negative, "G. Von L. Meyer," most likely refers to George von Lengerke Meyer, a Boston politician and diplomat who served as ambassador to Italy and Russia and later as Postmaster General and Secretary of the Navy. The record gives no date, and the title is noted as unverified, so the identification rests on the initials alone. The negative belongs to the Bain News Service collection, built by New York press photographer George Grantham Bain, whose agency supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures and events. Such glass negatives now show how officials were photographed in that era.
