Three named sitters, Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, F.M. McLoughlin and Mr. E.R. Matthews, make this glass negative a portrait of people rather than a scene. It comes from the Bain News Service, the New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs of current events and notable people. The record gives no date, and the names come from caption cards the library has not verified, so the occasion remains uncertain. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium of press photography in the early 1900s, before film largely replaced them.
