The only identifier here is the name "A. Stanley," an attribution the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card without later verification, so the subject's identity remains uncertain. The image survives as a glass negative, a format that news photographers in New York relied on in the early twentieth century before flexible film became standard. George Grantham Bain founded his agency to supply newspapers with pictures of current events and notable people, and his files now hold tens of thousands of such negatives. Viewers interested in this sitter should look to the Bain caption records and related files for clues about who is shown and when.
