The caption on this glass negative identifies the sitter as Admiral Baron Saito, though the Bain News Service recorded that name from unverified data, so the identification should be treated with some caution. The name most likely points to Makoto Saito, a Japanese naval officer who was raised to the peerage as a baron and later served as governor-general of Korea, ambassador to the United States, and prime minister. Bain News Service, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied newspapers with news photographs in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives document a wide range of public figures of that era.
