The sitter is listed as Lt. Doug. Cambell, a name the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, though the record marks both the title and the spelling as unverified. The picture survives as a glass negative, a format that news photographers relied on heavily in the early twentieth century, before flexible film became standard. George Grantham Bain founded the Bain News Service in New York to supply news photographs to newspapers, so portraits like this were often made for quick publication. With no date recorded, the best way to place the image is by its glass format and the agency's working period.
