The title pairs the names Stanley and Murray with "Smalle," though the Bain News Service recorded it on the negative or caption card without verification, so the subject may be two performers, a team, or a business. The picture is one of the glass negatives in the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds images made and distributed by the Bain News Service in New York in the early twentieth century. The service sold photographs of news events, public figures, and everyday scenes to newspapers and magazines, so its work captures the look of the period's press photography. Because the record gives no date, its exact origin is uncertain, but the glass plate format points to the years before flexible film became common.
