Labeled simply "Godfrey Locker - Lampson," this glass negative most likely shows Godfrey Locker-Lampson, a British Conservative politician and writer, though the record notes that the name comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service. George Grantham Bain built his New York agency to sell news photographs to newspapers and magazines, so many of its negatives were made for quick publication rather than as studio portraits. The date is unknown, so the sitter's identity and the occasion of the sitting are worth confirming against other sources before the picture is cited.
