The record gives only the name Henry Burr, a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card and that has not been independently verified. The name most likely refers to the Canadian-born tenor who became one of the most recorded singers of the early phonograph era, with hundreds of cylinder and disc recordings to his name. Bain's New York agency sold news and feature photographs to newspapers in the early decades of the twentieth century, so a portrait from its files reflects the steady demand for images of people in entertainment and public life.
