The only identifying detail here is the name Mike Yokel, taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, and the record gives no date or description to confirm it. Bain was a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so portraits from its files generally reflect the quick, deadline-driven press work of that period. Because the name is unverified, the identity of the sitter and the occasion behind the negative remain open, though the glass plate itself shows the dry-plate methods that news photographers relied on at the time.
