The record gives only the name H.N. Hempstead, and the title comes from caption data the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its card, which the Library of Congress notes is unverified. The print is a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, part of the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain's agency, based in New York, sent news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so many of its negatives record people and events of that period. Its sheer volume, and the labels added in the field and the studio, mean names like this one often need checking against other sources before they can be treated as settled.
