Stanley Baldwin is the subject here, the British Conservative politician who served as prime minister in the mid-1920s and again in the 1930s. This glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, the archive of the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures and events in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and its title is an unverified label from the agency's own negative or caption card, so the exact occasion is uncertain. Still, the glass plate format and the Bain provenance point to the agency's working files, where a portrait like this would have been made for quick reproduction in the press.
