Four surnames, Donaghey, Porter, Hart and Roberts, make up the title of this glass negative, though the record flags them as unverified names taken from the negative or its caption card. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the output of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news pictures of people, events and street scenes to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The undated plate is typical of that work, a small glass negative of the kind the agency used for everyday reproduction. Without a recorded date or occasion, the names are the best starting point for anyone researching the sitting.
