Bain News Service captioned this glass negative with the courtesy titles Lord Settrington and Earl of March, both borne by the heir to the Dukes of Richmond, a Scottish and English noble family. The record gives no date and the title is unverified, so the identification rests on the caption cards rather than on confirmed records. Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that supplied portraits of public figures and newsworthy people to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the picture most likely reflects that press purpose. Its glass plates, often shot in quick studio or street settings, remain valuable records of how such figures were presented to the public.
