The only identifying detail here is a name, Dr. J.R. Angell, and the catalog notes that even this comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card. The initials may point to James Rowland Angell, a psychologist who later served as president of Yale University, but the record does not confirm that. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of public figures and events in the early twentieth century. With no date recorded, the portrait is best understood within that busy working-press context.
