This negative is catalogued under the name "H.P. Fletcher," but the record notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the identity of the sitter or subject remains uncertain. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the working files of the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were the standard medium for press work of that era, before flexible film became common, and they reveal the wide range of people, places, and events the agency covered.
