This glass negative is catalogued as a portrait bust of Lyman J. Gage, the Chicago banker who served as Secretary of the Treasury under President William McKinley from 1897 to 1902. Gage's career linked private banking with federal finance during years of heated debate over currency and the nation's economic direction, and officials of his rank were often photographed for newspapers and magazines. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data supplied by the Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose files make up this collection, so the exact sitting and its purpose remain uncertain.
