The only identifying detail for this negative is the name "J. Heythekker," taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives. The record gives no date and cannot confirm who the sitter was or what the occasion was. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s, and its glass negatives document the people and events of that busy period. The negative's modest size, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, reflects the standard format the agency used for much of its work.
