The title names two men, L.M. Cockaday and Maj. Banning, though the record does not say who they were, where the picture was taken, or what occasion it recorded. The title comes from data supplied by the Bain News Service and has not been verified. Bain was a New York agency that sold news pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s, and its glass negatives were usually made in small formats like this 5 x 7 inch plate. Because the record gives no date, the portrait is best read as a document of its period and of the agency's practice of identifying sitters from captions.
