The only identifying detail here is the name C.E. Restrepo, a title the record marks as unverified, so the identity of the subject remains uncertain. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York news photo service that supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures and events in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium of press photography before flexible film took over, and they reward close looking for their fine detail and tonal range.
