The name on this glass negative, Eddie O'Dowd, comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its plates, and the Library of Congress notes that the identification has not been independently verified. Bain's agency, founded in New York in 1899, supplied newspapers with pictures of sports figures, politicians, performers and street scenes, so a portrait like this was likely made for quick reproduction in the press. The record gives no date, but the glass plate format and the collection's general period point to the early twentieth century, when news photography was expanding rapidly.
