The only identifying detail recorded for this glass negative is a name, A.W. Shaw, and the cataloguers note that it comes from unverified information written on the negative or its caption card. That uncertainty is typical of the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds negatives made and distributed by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with news and portrait photographs. With no date or setting recorded, the plate is best read as a working press negative from the early twentieth century, when glass was still standard for newspaper photography.
