The caption identifies the sitter as the Rev. G. K. A. Bell, Dean of Canterbury, a post he held from 1924 to 1929 before becoming Bishop of Chichester. The record's identification comes from unverified caption data, so the exact occasion is unclear. Bell was known in the interwar years for his work on church unity and international Christian cooperation, and he later spoke out against the wartime bombing of civilians. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers with news photographs in the early twentieth century.
