The record names only one person, E.W. Sims, and gives no date or occasion, so the identification rests on a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card. Bain was a New York news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were quick portrait and event shots taken for same-day publication. Because the title is unverified, the sitter's identity and role should be checked against other sources before the image is cited.
