The record names this picture only as "Chas. Sessler," an abbreviated name taken from the negative or its caption card, and it gives no date or subject details to confirm who the name refers to. The title is unverified, so the identity should be read with that caution. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of news photographers of that era, and the collection's captions are often the only surviving record of who appeared in a picture.
