The only identifying detail on this glass negative is the name John Reed, taken from caption data that the Bain News Service recorded and that the Library of Congress has not verified. If it refers to the journalist of that name, who covered the Mexican Revolution and later wrote about the Russian Revolution, the sitter was a prominent figure in New York's radical circles of the 1910s. Bain News Service supplied news pictures to newspapers in that period, so the negative fits its broader run of portraits of public figures. Treat the identification as provisional.
