A caption on this glass negative identifies the sitter as Jas. Bryce, most likely James Bryce, the British historian and jurist who served as ambassador to the United States from 1907 to 1913. The tight, head-and-shoulders framing that the record calls a cameo portrait was a common format for close studio views of the period. The Bain News Service, which made the negative, was a New York news photo agency that supplied images to newspapers, so portraits like this one reached a wide readership. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the identification should be treated as provisional.
