The caption names the sitter as Thos. L. Blanton, which most likely refers to Thomas L. Blanton, the Texas politician who served in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1920s and 1930s. The record gives no date, and the Bain News Service caption is unverified, so the identification should be read with some caution. The Bain agency, based in New York and Washington, shot portraits of officials, performers and newsworthy people from the early 1900s through the 1920s and sold the pictures to newspapers. This glass negative belongs to that body of work, and its size and format reflect the photographic technology of the period.
