The title pairs two surnames, Eliot and Tanaka, but the record flags that the name comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card, so the pairing should be read with caution. The George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress preserves glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the first decades of the twentieth century. Glass plates were the standard working medium for press photographers of that era, prized for the fine detail they recorded before prints were made for reproduction.
