The record gives only the name "Sir Chas. Symonds," and the Library of Congress notes that this title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the identity of the man pictured is not confirmed here. The image survives as a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain's New York agency, which operated in the early twentieth century, supplied news photographs to newspapers, and its glass plates were the standard format for those pressroom images. Viewers should treat the name as a lead for further research rather than a settled fact.
