The only name on this negative is "Roth," and the record notes that even this title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card. That makes it a useful reminder of how many Bain News Service images reached the archive with incomplete labels. George Grantham Bain ran a New York news photography service in the early twentieth century, selling pictures of public figures, events, and everyday city life to newspapers. His glass negatives, now held by the Library of Congress, were often captioned quickly for deadline use, so names and dates were sometimes recorded loosely or not at all.
