A glass negative bearing the name John A. Leach survives in the George Grantham Bain Collection, though the record gives no date and no detail about who he was or why he was photographed. The name comes from caption cards and negative sleeves that the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, used in the early twentieth century, and those labels were not always checked against other sources. Bain's company supplied newspapers with portraits and news pictures from roughly 1900 to the 1920s, so the plate likely dates from that period. Viewers should treat the identification as provisional.
