Nothing in the record identifies the sitters beyond the surname in the title, "Chu and family," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card and which has not been verified. George Grantham Bain founded the New York agency, which supplied newspapers with news and feature pictures in the early twentieth century. This small glass negative, no larger than 5 by 7 inches, reflects the sharp detail and tonal range that dry plates made possible. Anyone researching the family should treat their identity and the date as open questions.
