The only identifying detail for this glass negative is the name R.H. Wilson, which the Library of Congress lists as unverified and taken from data written on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter and occasion remain uncertain. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with news and feature photographs in the early twentieth century. Glass plates of this small size were the standard tool for that kind of fast news work, which makes the collection a useful record of the people and events of the period. Anyone researching this plate should check the caption cards and the library's catalog for later corrections.
