The record identifies this glass negative only as "Lt. Madon," a military rank and surname taken from caption cards that the record itself describes as unverified. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs from about 1900 into the early 1920s. The agency's large body of glass negatives covers many news subjects, including officers and public figures, so this plate reflects its practice of recording people in the news for quick publication. Treat the identification as provisional until other sources confirm who is shown.
