The only identifying detail here is the surname Hofmann, a title the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its caption card without verification, so the subject remains unconfirmed. The George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress holds news pictures from an agency that Bain founded in New York in 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs of current events. Its glass negatives, many from the early twentieth century, record politicians, performers, athletes and street scenes, and they are valued for the everyday detail of their period.
