A portrait of a man recorded as Dr. Otto Schultze survives on a glass negative, and the Library of Congress notes that this name comes from unverified data written by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The Bain agency was a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its files hold many portraits of public figures and newsmakers. The record gives no date, so the negative is best understood as part of that wider body of work, made on large glass plates that were standard for press photography before flexible film became common.
