A police commander named Bingham sits with a pipe in this glass negative, a casual pose that contrasts with the stiffer official portraits of the period. The caption gives only his rank and surname, taken from notes made by the Bain News Service that have not been independently verified, so his full identity is uncertain. George Grantham Bain's agency supplied newspapers with pictures of New York's civic figures and street life in the early 1900s, and this sitting is recorded as January 21, 1908.
