The caption reads C. M. Depew, most likely a reference to Chauncey M. Depew, the New York Central Railroad executive who later served as a U.S. senator from New York and was a well-known public figure in the early twentieth century. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold images like this to newspapers, so the negative was probably made for quick press use rather than as a formal portrait. No date is recorded, and the title comes from caption data the agency wrote without independent verification, so the identification is best treated as a working attribution.
