The only identifying detail here is the name Heinrich Beck, which the record gives as an unverified title taken from the caption card or negative sleeve. Nothing in the record confirms who he was, when the picture was made, or what it shows. The negative is a glass plate, a format that news photographers and studios used widely until roll film largely replaced it in the early twentieth century. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of images made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s.
