This portrait, catalogued under the name Bishop Fred B. Fisher, is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection. The record notes that the title comes from unverified information written on the negatives or caption cards, so the identity of the sitter and the occasion remain open to confirmation. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency Bain operated in the early twentieth century, produced many portraits of clergy, politicians and other public figures for newspapers. Its glass plates, which were sized to fit the press and reproduction methods of the day, offer a useful record of how news photographs were made before film became standard.
