The name on this glass negative, Prof. Elias Morgenstern, comes from a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, and that title has not been independently verified. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its files now form the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Glass negatives of this size were the standard working medium for press and studio photographers of the day, prized for their fine detail. Checking the caption against city directories or old newspapers is a sensible first step for researchers.
