A Missouri governor's portrait, catalogued under the name Fred Gardner, comes from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and its title is noted as unverified, so the sitter's identity and the year should be checked against other sources. Frederick D. Gardner served as governor of Missouri from 1917 to 1921, a period when wartime politics filled the news, and glass negatives like this one were the standard medium of press photography at the time.
