The only identifying detail here is a caption reading "A.H. Woodsl," which the Library of Congress marks as unverified, so the sitter's identity is uncertain. The name most likely refers to A.H. Woods, the New York theatrical producer who staged many Broadway productions and was often in the news during the 1910s and 1920s. The negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied press pictures of public figures, and its glass plates from this era show the faces and dress of the period. The record offers no date, so the picture is best read as a snapshot of early twentieth-century New York theater and press photography.
