This glass negative is catalogued under the name Jacob Panken, a New York lawyer and Socialist who later served as a judge on the city's Municipal Court. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service supplied and that has not been independently verified. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that sold pictures of public figures, events and everyday city life to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the image likely reflects that newsroom demand for portraits of people in the news.
