Labeled as Kid Sullivan, bantamweight champion of Canada, this glass negative is no larger than 5 by 7 inches, a format news photographers relied on before flexible film became standard. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of athletes, politicians, and current events in the early twentieth century. Bantamweight was one of the weight divisions that drew steady interest from boxing fans of that era, and sports figures were a regular subject for such agencies. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded, which has not been independently verified, so the exact date and circumstances remain uncertain.
