The title names a "Gen. Chomer," but the record marks that name as unverified, taken from information written on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity remains uncertain. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the archive of Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Like much of the agency's work, it was made for newspaper reproduction, and many of its records carry only brief caption details. The record gives no date, so the image is best understood as an example of the agency's work from that era.
