The only identifying detail here is the caption "Lloyd Geo.," an abbreviation that most likely refers to David Lloyd George, the British statesman who led his country's wartime government from 1916 to 1922, though the record does not confirm the sitter. The image is a glass negative, a format Bain News Service used widely for its news work. The Bain agency supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the plate probably shows a figure in the headlines of that period. No date is recorded, so the occasion behind the picture remains unknown.
