The caption identifies this man as Julius Meyer, a New York delegate, photographed on a train platform on June 12, 1908, days before the Republican National Convention opened in Chicago that month. Travel scenes like this one show how delegates reached the convention city, often by rail through crowded depots. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early 1900s. The record notes that the title comes from unverified agency data, so the identification should be read with that in mind.
