The record gives only the title "Baron Bearstead," taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service supplied and that were not verified. The name most likely refers to the Bearsted peerage, which was held by the London merchant Marcus Samuel, founder of the Shell Transport and Trading Company. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency whose glass negatives, made from about 1900 into the early 1930s, document news figures and events of that era. The record does not give a date, so the exact occasion and sitter cannot be confirmed from it.
