The record gives only the name Whiteman, taken from caption cards or the negative, and the Library of Congress notes that this title is unverified, so the subject remains uncertain. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers from the early 1900s into the 1930s. Its glass negatives, typically 5 by 7 inches or smaller, document a wide range of people and events of the period, and they remain valued as a record of everyday news photography in that era.
