The only identifying detail for this negative is the name W.B. Colver, taken from a caption card written by the Bain News Service, and the Library of Congress notes that this title is unverified. Bain was a New York photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers and magazines, and its glass negatives, mostly made in the early twentieth century, were often captioned quickly for publication. With no date or setting in the record, the subject's role and the occasion remain open, so the catalog notes and caption card are the best places to check before drawing conclusions about who Colver was.
