The record identifies this glass negative as a portrait of Baron Ishiguro, though the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service supplied and has not been independently verified. The sitter's title marks him as a member of Japan's peerage, a rank created in 1884 that often went to officials, military officers, and diplomats. Bain's studio, which operated in New York and Washington from about 1900 into the 1920s, photographed visiting dignitaries and newsworthy figures for wire distribution to newspapers. The record gives no date, so the exact year remains unknown, but the sitter's rank and the studio's output suggest a portrait made during the early twentieth century, when Japan's international profile was growing.
