The sitter is identified only as Sgt. W.R. Cleveland, a name taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, so the identification itself is unverified. The picture is a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, the format the agency relied on for quick news work in the early twentieth century. Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain, supplied photographs of current events, public figures and everyday scenes to newspapers, and its collection is now held by the Library of Congress. With no date recorded, the sergeant's exact moment and setting are best understood through the agency's broader practice rather than this negative alone.
