Three names make up the title of this glass negative: J.G. Smith, Lily Smith and Walter Brickett. The record notes that these come from caption cards made by the Bain News Service and have not been verified, so they are best treated as a starting point. The negative is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds the work of a New York agency founded around 1899 that supplied newspapers with photographs of people and events in the early twentieth century. No date is recorded, but the negative's medium places it in an era when glass plates were still the standard for press photography.
