This glass negative is catalogued under the name Gen. R.L. Bullard, though the record notes that the identification comes from caption cards that were not independently verified. Robert Lee Bullard was a career Army officer who commanded American troops in France during World War I, and portraits of senior officers like him were in heavy demand from press agencies during those years. The Bain News Service, a New York photo outlet active from about 1900 into the 1920s, supplied newspapers with images like this one, so the plate offers a window into how wartime leaders were presented to the public. Its small glass format also reflects the photographic technology of the period.
