The only identifying detail for this negative is its title, Fewster, a surname given without a first name, place, or date. The record notes that the title comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card, so it may be a sitter's name, a subject, or a label added later. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of news and feature photographs that the Bain News Service produced and distributed from New York in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were fragile, and their survival shows how much of the period's visual news record depends on such plates.
