The record gives only a name for this glass negative: W.J. Gaynor, a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, though the Library of Congress notes that the data is unverified. William J. Gaynor was a New York lawyer and politician who served as mayor of New York City from 1910 until he was shot by a disgruntled former employee in 1910 and died in 1913, so the name likely points to him, but the record does not confirm who is pictured. George Grantham Bain's agency supplied newspapers with news photographs from roughly 1900 to 1915, and its 8 by 10 inch glass plates capture the people and events of that era.
