The picture is catalogued under the name Dana D. Barnum, a title the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card. The archive's data is unverified, and no date is given, so the sitter's identity and the occasion are uncertain. The image survives as a glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, the format Bain's New York operation used for its wire-service work. From about 1899 into the early 1930s, the agency supplied news photographs to newspapers across the country, so pictures like this one reflect the working methods of early press photography.
