This negative is catalogued under the surname Strauss alone, with no date and a title that the Library of Congress notes is unverified and taken from the negative or its caption card. The image comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the working archive of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard camera medium of that period, and the collection's pictures show the public figures, events, and street scenes that editors wanted that week. Because the record is thin, the sitter's identity and the occasion remain open questions.
