The name on this glass negative, Gilbert Gallant, is the only identifying detail the record gives, and it comes from the negative or its caption card rather than from a verified source. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain in the early 1900s, supplied newspapers with pictures of people and events in the news, so its plates often show individual sitters and subjects of the period. The Library of Congress holds a large share of these glass negatives, which are valuable for studying the press and everyday life in those decades. Until a researcher confirms the name, it is best treated as provisional.
