The only identifying detail here is the name H. Sinkiewicz, which the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives and caption cards without verification, so the sitter's identity and the year 1869 attached to the title should be treated as unconfirmed. What the record does establish is the format: a small glass negative, 5 by 7 inches or smaller. George Grantham Bain built his news photo service in New York in the early 1900s, selling pictures of current events, public figures and city life to newspapers, so the collection offers a useful view of how working news photography was made and used during that period.
