The record identifies the sitter as a doctor with the U.S. Volunteers and an "L.S. Corps," though the title comes from unverified Bain News Service caption data and the corps abbreviation is unexplained. "U.S. Volunteers" was a designation for temporary units raised for wartime service, notably in the Spanish-American War of 1898, so the sitter was probably a physician commissioned for a limited term. Bain's agency photographed many news subjects in the early twentieth century, and portraits like this one show how military medical service was presented to the public.
