Few details survive for this portrait of Lt. Chas. Sweeney. The title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, and the Library of Congress notes that it has not been independently verified, so the identity and rank should be read with that in mind. The picture is a glass negative, the working format of news photographers of the period. George Grantham Bain founded his agency in New York in 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of people and events, and its files, which span roughly the early 1900s into the 1920s, record the faces and occasions that filled the papers of that era.
