This glass negative is identified only by the name John L. Baird, and the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service on the negatives or caption cards. The Bain News Service was a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain around the turn of the twentieth century, selling news pictures to newspapers, and its glass plates reflect the fast pace of American press photography of that period. With no date or caption to confirm who or what the plate shows, its identity and occasion remain open questions, which makes it most useful as evidence of how the agency worked.
