The record gives little beyond a name: this glass negative is titled "John Fisher," with no date and only a general medium note, so the sitter's identity cannot be confirmed from the catalog alone. The title comes from caption cards or labels written by the Bain News Service, a Manhattan picture agency that sent photographers out to cover news and portraits in the early twentieth century, and the Library of Congress holds its surviving negatives as part of the George Grantham Bain Collection. Glass plates like this one were the standard negative format of that period, valued for their sharp detail. Anyone researching the sitter should check the agency's caption cards and any surrounding negatives in the collection.
