The record gives only a name, "John G. Oglesby," and that identification comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote, so it has not been independently verified. The print comes from a small glass negative, five by seven inches or smaller, in the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain's agency sold news photographs to newspapers in New York and elsewhere from the early 1900s, and its collection holds tens of thousands of negatives covering politics, sports, disasters, and everyday life. Because the record lacks a date, the sitter's exact role and the occasion are unknown, but the glass plate format points to the agency's working practice of the period.
