Little is recorded about the subject of this glass negative, which carries only the title "Phillip," a name taken from unverified information on the negative or its caption card. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York photographic agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of people and events in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium for press photography before flexible film became common, and their large size preserves fine detail. Because no date is given, the picture is best read as a document of its period rather than of a specific occasion.
