The name on this glass negative, Sir Jos. Pope, comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded, and the record notes that it has not been verified. If the attribution holds, it likely refers to Joseph Pope, a Canadian civil servant who served as under-secretary of state for external affairs and wrote a well-known biography of John A. Macdonald. The Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain, sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and negatives like this one show the agency's quick, working approach to portrait and event coverage.
