The picture is titled "B.H. Snell," a name taken from the caption card or negative sleeve, and the record does not say who the man was or when the photograph was made. The title comes from data the Bain News Service recorded, so it has not been independently confirmed. George Grantham Bain founded the service in New York in the early 1900s, and it supplied newspapers with news and portrait photographs for years. Its glass negatives, now held by the Library of Congress, give a useful picture of the people and events that made the news in that period.
