The caption on this glass negative names three men, L.E. Westrick, Col. Geo. Filmer and Douglas White, and places the picture in New York on May 8, 1914, though the record notes that these details come from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service. Bain was a New York photo agency that sold pictures of people and events to newspapers, and its images from the early 1910s show the quick, press-driven pace of that work. The negative is a small glass plate, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, a standard format for news photographers of the time. Because the identities and occasion are not confirmed, the names are best treated as a starting point for research rather than settled fact.
