The record identifies its subject only as E.J. Lederle, and the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote without verification, so the sitter's identity and the picture's date remain uncertain. The name may point to the pharmaceutical firm Lederle Laboratories, but nothing in the record confirms that link. The negative is one of the glass plates that George Grantham Bain's New York agency produced in the early 1900s, when it supplied news pictures of people and events to newspapers. Those plates were typically captioned at the time of printing, so the card and the image together offer a snapshot of how press photographs were filed and identified in that era.
