The record gives this negative the title H.A. Vachell, but that name comes from unverified information the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, so the identity of the subject should be treated as provisional. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early decades of the twentieth century. Glass negatives of this size, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the standard tool of press photography before film became common, and many survive as the only record of ordinary news moments. The agency's captions and numbering help researchers trace a single plate back to its original use.
