The record gives this glass negative only a name, Ulisse Lappos, and notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the identity of the sitter and the occasion are still open. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers from the early 1900s into the 1920s. Its glass plates were often captioned quickly for same-day publication, so names and details were sometimes recorded in haste. Readers researching this portrait should treat the name as a lead to check against other sources.
