The record gives only a name, C.A. Canby, and it notes that the title comes from caption cards or negative sleeves that the Bain News Service supplied, so the identity of the sitter or subject is unconfirmed. The image is a glass negative, a format that news photographers used widely in the early 1900s because it produced sharp detail. George Grantham Bain's New York agency distributed pictures of public figures, events and everyday life to newspapers, and its negatives later passed to the Library of Congress. Without a date, the best guide to when the picture was made is the agency's active years, roughly 1900 to 1920.
