The record names Cleve Peters as the subject of this 1918 glass negative, though the title comes from caption cards and is noted as unverified. It belongs to the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of people and events in the early twentieth century. Plates of this size, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were a common working format for press photographers of the period, and the fine detail they recorded is a large part of why the collection is valued by historians today.
