The title places this glass negative in Paris and refers to a man at a bath, though the Bain News Service notes that its title data is unverified, so the exact scene and date remain uncertain. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain, which supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its small glass plates were built for quick printing and wire transmission, and collections like this one show how press photographers recorded daily life and distant cities for readers who had never seen them.
