A naval officer, identified in the caption only as Lt. Com. D.W. Bagley, is the subject here. The rank of lieutenant commander sits between lieutenant and full commander in the U.S. Navy. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain around 1899, supplied newspapers and magazines with portraits of public figures, military personnel and current events. Because the title comes from unverified agency data and no date is recorded, the sitter's identity and the occasion remain uncertain, but the glass negative format places the image in the early twentieth century.
