A family portrait of Theo Brentano, his wife, and their granddaughter, the picture is preserved as a glass negative, a format news photographers relied on in the early 1900s for its sharp detail and ease of reproduction. The record gives no date, and its title comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded, which the Library of Congress has not verified. The Bain News Service, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied photographs of public figures, events, and everyday subjects to newspapers, so portraits like this one reflect how the agency documented people in its day.
