The title names George Washington as the subject, but the record marks that attribution as unverified, so the figure shown should be checked before anyone relies on it. The plate comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the working files of the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with photographs of people, places and events in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were the standard medium of press photography in that era, and their survival shows how news pictures were made and filed.
