A glass negative bears the name Constantin Nicolay, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, which Bain founded in New York in 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs of news events and notable people. Its glass plates, many of them 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were quick to produce and gave the service a fast, reliable stream of images for print reproduction. Viewers interested in the period can compare this plate with the service's wider holdings to see how its portraits and news pictures reflect the early twentieth century.
