The record for this picture gives only the title "Curci," a single glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, and no date. The title comes from data that Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, and the Library of Congress has not verified it, so "Curci" may be a surname, a place, or a shorthand label. George Grantham Bain founded the service in New York in the early 1900s as a wire photo operation that sent images to newspapers, and its glass negatives were typically made for quick news use. Bain photographs of this kind often lack firm dates, so their subjects and origins are best read alongside the wider collection.
