The record gives only the name F.J. Swayze, and the title is flagged as unverified, so the sitter's identity and the occasion are not confirmed here. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of that era, prized for sharp detail and used for quick newspaper reproduction. The date in the record, 7/10, is also incomplete, so the exact year is unknown.
