The title on this glass negative is simply "Gardner," a name the Bain News Service recorded on its caption card, and the record does not say whether it refers to a person, a place, or an event. Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its plates were typically made as small, quick-to-process glass negatives like this one. Because the date is not recorded, the image is best read as a document of the agency's working practice, with the exact subject still open to confirmation from the Library of Congress catalog.
