The caption on this glass negative reads "Sun Pao Chi," but the record notes that the title comes from unverified data written by the Bain News Service, so the name may not reliably identify the subject. The negative is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photography firm that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its images of public figures, events and everyday scenes make it a useful record of American life in those decades. Because the caption is unconfirmed, researchers should treat the name as a starting point rather than settled fact.
