Sir Frederick Treves, the London surgeon, is named here as the sitter, though that identification comes from a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card and has not been independently verified. Treves was one of the leading surgeons of his day, best known for performing the emergency appendix operation on King Edward VII in 1902, just before the planned coronation, and for his association with Joseph Merrick, the man known as the Elephant Man. Bain's agency supplied news photographs of prominent people to newspapers in the early 1900s, and glass negatives like this one were the working medium of that trade, so the picture shows how public figures were photographed for the press in that era.
