The title "McCall and Converse" appears to name two people or a firm, but the record flags it as unverified information taken from the negative or its caption card, so the subject remains uncertain. The plate is one of the small glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, George Grantham Bain's New York picture agency, which supplied newspapers with photographs of people, places and events in the early twentieth century. Because the sitter, location and date are not confirmed, the image is best read as an example of the agency's glass-plate work and its caption-based record keeping.
