The title "Schrank's writing" is the only detail that sets this negative apart, and the record notes that it comes from caption data the Bain News Service supplied without verification. The name may point to John Schrank, who shot former President Theodore Roosevelt in Milwaukee in 1912, but the record does not confirm that link, and the subject of the writing is not described. The Bain News Service was a New York press agency whose glass negatives, made from about 1900 into the 1920s, document news events, public figures and everyday scenes of the period. Because no date is recorded, the image's exact moment must be read from the title and the collection's general context.
