The title "London Quartet" suggests a musical ensemble, but the record says it comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card, so the subject itself is uncertain. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that Bain founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of current events and notable people. The small plate, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, was a common working format for the agency's quick-turnaround news photography. Treat the title as a starting point rather than a settled identification.
