The name on this glass negative belongs to Sir Arthur Shipley, a British zoologist who spent much of his career at Cambridge and became Master of Christ's College in 1910. The record gives the title only as unverified information from the Bain News Service, so the sitter's identity rests on that caption rather than a confirmed date or occasion. Bain was a New York agency that photographed newsworthy people and events in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives reflect the formal portrait conventions of the period. Shipley's zoological writing made him a well-known figure in British science.
