The record identifies this glass negative as a portrait of Sir Andrew Fraser, though the title comes from caption data that the Bain News Service supplied and has not been independently verified. Fraser was a senior British colonial administrator in India, and a portrait of a figure like him taken in 1909 would likely have been made for the press, when newspapers still relied on photographs of prominent officials. The Bain News Service, a New York agency, produced many such images on glass plates, and the collection now offers a broad record of American and international news photography from the early twentieth century.
