Identified only as Lt. Torrey Webb, the sitter's name comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the label is best treated as provisional. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of current events in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, but the glass format and the agency's focus on quick news images place it in the years before film largely replaced glass plates for press work.
