This glass negative is catalogued under the name Julius Rosenwald, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified caption data from the Bain News Service. Rosenwald was a part owner and later president of Sears, Roebuck and Company, and he became one of the best-known philanthropists of his era. Through the Julius Rosenwald Fund, he helped finance thousands of schools for Black children across the rural South, a program that drew wide public attention in the 1910s and 1920s. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, sold images like this one to newspapers and magazines.
