The caption on this glass negative identifies the sitter as Capt. Walter S. Crosley, though the record gives no date and notes that the name comes from unverified information recorded by the Bain News Service. Bain's agency supplied newspapers with news pictures of public figures and military men in New York and beyond in the early twentieth century, so a portrait like this was likely made for quick publication. The plate's small format, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, reflects the standard equipment press photographers relied on in that era.
