The record names this picture only as "F.B. Shipp," a title the Bain News Service supplied on its negative or caption card and that has not been independently verified, so the sitter's identity and the occasion remain unconfirmed. The image survives as a small glass negative, a format that news photographers of the early twentieth century used widely because it was light, sharp, and easy to print from. George Grantham Bain ran his New York agency to supply newspapers and magazines with pictures of people and events in the news, and his files later passed to the Library of Congress. Viewers interested in this portrait should treat the name as a starting point for research rather than a settled fact.
