Standing before a New York courthouse, John D. Rockefeller is pictured with a group of companions, though the record does not name them or confirm which building appears here. The Bain News Service, run by photographer George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with pictures like this in the early 1900s, and its glass negatives capture the crowds, officials and public figures of the period. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, was a frequent subject for news photographers because his business dealings and legal battles drew steady public attention. The caption came from the agency's own notes, which were not always checked, so the exact setting and date are worth reading with some caution.
