The record names Rostand, most likely Edmond Rostand, the French playwright whose *Cyrano de Bergerac* made him one of the most celebrated dramatists of the early 1900s. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs of public figures to newspapers, made this glass negative, but the title comes from unverified caption data and no date is recorded. The identification rests on a surname alone, so the sitter should be treated as probable rather than confirmed. Glass plates like this were a standard tool of news photography in the early twentieth century.
