The only identifying detail for this glass negative is its title, "Homer," which the Bain News Service recorded from its negatives or caption cards. The Library of Congress notes that the title is unverified, and the record gives no date, so the name could refer to a place, a person, or a subject that researchers will need to confirm. The Bain News Service was a New York press photography operation whose negatives, many made in the early twentieth century, document the news, people, and places of that period. Anyone using this image should treat the title as a starting point and check it against other sources.
