The name attached to this negative is Gennaro Barra, and the Library of Congress notes that it comes from unverified data written by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card. George Grantham Bain founded the service in New York in 1899, building a large archive of news photographs that the Library of Congress later acquired. Glass negatives like this one were a common working medium for press and studio photographers in the early twentieth century, valued for their fine detail, and the collection's broad range of subjects makes it a useful record of American public life of that era.
