Little is confirmed about this negative beyond its title, "Dr. Chas. McCarthy," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card without independent verification. If the name is correct, it may refer to Charles McCarthy, a Wisconsin scholar who headed the state's Legislative Reference Library and wrote on the "Wisconsin Idea" of drawing university expertise into lawmaking. The Bain News Service, a New York agency, distributed news pictures of politicians, scientists and public figures in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives remain a useful record of that period's public faces.
