The record names Geo. Backer, Leonore Soraby and U. Haupt, though the Library of Congress notes that these titles come from unverified data on the negative or its caption card. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that began around 1899 and supplied news photographs to newspapers. The record gives no date, so the occasion is uncertain, but the small glass plates of that era were the standard tool for capturing people and events quickly for reproduction.
