The only identifying detail in this record is the title, Coolidge, which the catalog flags as unverified, so the sitter is not confirmed. The name most likely refers to Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president, who served from 1923 to 1929, a period when press photographers in Washington and New York regularly supplied pictures of public figures to newspapers. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a commercial picture agency that sold news photographs to papers from the early 1900s. Glass negatives like this one preserve the look and detail of that era's news photography, though the missing date leaves the exact occasion unknown.
