The only identifying detail for this glass negative is its title, "C.M. Ling," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card. The library notes that this information has not been verified, so the sitter and the occasion remain open questions. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s, and its glass plates, mostly 5 by 7 inches or smaller, cover a wide range of people and events. This negative is best read as one example of that quickly produced news work.
