The only identifying detail is a name, "Geo. White," and the Library of Congress notes that even this comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card. Bain News Service, the New York picture agency whose glass negatives make up this collection, photographed many people from the stage and public life, so the name may refer to George White, the Broadway producer known for the *Scandals* revues, though the record does not confirm it. The plate is a small glass negative, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, the kind of format the agency relied on for quick portrait and news work in the early twentieth century.
