The record identifies this glass negative by the caption "Dr. E.A. Sturge Jap.," with the abbreviation possibly pointing to a Japan connection, though the Library of Congress notes that the title is unverified. It is one of the Bain News Service negatives, the New York photo agency's work that George Grantham Bain assembled and that the Library of Congress now holds. The collection's early twentieth-century pictures were made for newspapers that needed quick portraits and news views, so this image likely served a similar purpose. The date is not recorded, so the exact moment remains uncertain.
