The only identifying detail for this glass negative is the name Col. J.P. Wisser, which the Bain News Service recorded on its caption cards. The library has not verified that name, so the sitter's identity should be treated as provisional. Bain's company, founded in New York around 1899, sold news pictures of prominent people and events to newspapers, and its glass negatives, typically sized 5 by 7 inches or smaller, remain a major source for early twentieth-century American portraits.
