The only name attached to this negative is Johnson, and the record marks that title as unverified, so the subject remains unidentified. It is one of the glass plates in the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work produced by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news and feature photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working medium of that era, valued for their sharp detail, and they preserve the look of press photography from the years before roll film became common.
