This glass negative is catalogued under two names, Edmund Russell and Mrs. Jackson Gourand, and the record notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service. That mismatch is worth keeping in mind when reading it. The Bain agency, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, sold news and feature photographs to newspapers from about 1900 into the 1920s, and its negatives were often captioned quickly for same-day publication. Portraits from this period were usually made in a studio or at a public event, so the sitter's identity and the picture's date are the first things to verify.
