The only identifying detail for this glass negative is its caption, "Thos. Webster," which the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its caption card without a verified date or subject. The agency, founded in New York around 1899, supplied news pictures to newspapers for decades, and its staff often labeled negatives quickly so they could reach the next day's editions. Because the name is unconfirmed, it is best read as a lead for researchers rather than a settled identification. The small 5 by 7 inch format was typical of the collection, where portraits and event pictures were filed for reuse.
