This glass negative is a portrait of a man identified in the record only as Adm. C.M. Chaster, and the library notes that the name comes from unverified data written on the negatives or caption cards, so the identification should be treated as provisional. Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with photographs of politicians, military figures, and news events in the early twentieth century. Its negatives were typically made on glass plates, a format that let photographers produce sharp, detailed prints for quick reproduction in the press. Because the record gives no date, the sitter's rank and the exact occasion are best confirmed through the Library of Congress catalog.
