The title names two men, Cecil Lyons and W.D. Muldane, but the record gives no date, occasion, or description of the scene, so the pairing of names is the only specific detail we have. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain in the early 1900s, sold news pictures to newspapers and magazines, and its negatives were often captioned in haste. The library notes that the title comes from unverified caption data, so the names may be a useful lead for researchers rather than a confirmed identification. This is a glass negative, a format the agency used heavily before film became standard.
