The sitter is identified in the record as Gen. W.M. Black, though the catalog notes that this title comes from unverified caption data attached to the negative, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The glass plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early 20th century. Its undated, small-format negatives capture the fast, portrait-style work the agency produced for daily publication, when officers and public figures were frequent subjects.
