The record names this glass negative H. Sydnor Harrison, but the title comes from caption data that has not been verified, so the identification should be read with some caution. If the name is correct, it most likely refers to Henry Sydnor Harrison, a Virginia-born novelist whose books were widely read in the early twentieth century. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs from about 1900 into the 1910s and 1920s. Its glass plates offer a close look at the people who made news in that busy period.
