The record gives only the surname Coolidge, a title the Bain News Service supplied and the Library of Congress has not verified, so the sitter is best read as a probable reference to Calvin Coolidge, who served as president from 1923 to 1929. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain, and its glass negatives record politicians, performers and news events from the early twentieth century. Because the label is unconfirmed, viewers should treat the identification as a lead to check rather than a settled fact, though the agency's focus on newsworthy subjects makes a public figure a reasonable guess.
