Little is recorded about the sitters beyond a name: R. Bonelli and his wife, a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, which the Library of Congress has not verified. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection of glass negatives from a New York news photo agency active in the early twentieth century. Its plates, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, cover a wide range of people and events, so a portrait like this one offers a glimpse of private life within the commercial press trade.
