Listed simply as "O. Kreutzer tennis," this glass negative carries a title that the Library of Congress notes is unverified and was taken from Bain News Service labels. It belongs to George Grantham Bain's New York agency, which sold news and feature pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s. Tennis was a common subject for such photographers, reflecting the sport's growing popularity at clubs and courts of the period. With no date recorded, the image is best read as a glimpse of that era's sporting life, with the player's identity still open to confirmation.
