This glass negative shows Lewis Strauss and his wife, though the record marks the names as unverified and drawn from caption cards kept with the plates. Strauss was a New York banker who worked closely with Herbert Hoover before chairing the Atomic Energy Commission in the 1950s. The Bain News Service, founded by George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with photographs and made its negatives in this glass format. With no date recorded, the picture is best read as an example of the agency's portrait work of prominent people.
