The record identifies this glass negative only as "C.S. Gilpin," a name taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, so the subject is not verified and the picture's date is unknown. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply images to newspapers, and it produced portraits, events, and street scenes for daily print use. Because its negatives were often captioned quickly for publication, a name like this one may point to a person photographed for a news story, though the record does not say so. Viewers should treat the identification as a lead to verify rather than a settled fact.
