Despite the title, this glass negative names a Danish minister surnamed Rode, and the Bain News Service's own caption, which the record marks as unverified, is the only source for that identification. The Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain around 1899, sold news photographs to newspapers, so its pictures were usually made quickly for publication rather than as studio portraits. The record gives no date, so the picture's exact moment is unknown, but its survival in the Bain collection places it within the service's working years. Viewers should read the subject and place as the photographer's label rather than a confirmed fact.
