The title pairs two names, Taft and Manley, but the record says this wording comes from caption cards and has not been verified, so the identities of the people shown are uncertain. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a commercial press agency that photographed politicians, officials and public events in the early twentieth century. William Howard Taft, president from 1909 to 1913, was among the public figures the agency covered, and the collection preserves the agency's daily work for later researchers.
