The only identifying detail here is the title, Wells, which the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, and which has not been independently verified. The record gives no date, so the specific subject and occasion remain uncertain. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo service in New York in 1899, and it supplied newspapers with pictures of people, events and places, many made on glass plates like this one. The small format, 5 by 7 inches or less, was a common working size for press photography of that period.
