The record identifies the sitter as J.R. Mott, a name that matches John R. Mott, the American leader of the Young Men's Christian Association and the World Student Christian Federation. The title comes from caption data supplied by the Bain News Service, so the identification rests on that source rather than on a verified date or event. Bain's agency worked as a commercial photo service in New York in the early twentieth century, selling pictures of public figures and news events to newspapers. Mott, who shared the 1946 Nobel Peace Prize, was a prominent figure in that period, which makes him a plausible subject for a studio or news portrait from the agency's files.
