    Early 20th Century American Life: Bob Diry Portrait

    $19.95

    This photograph features Bob Diry, captured between 1910 and 1915 by the Bain News Service. Bob Diry was notable for his role in the early 20th century and reflected the changing face of American society during this period. The image, produced as a glass negative, exemplifies the techniques used in photography before the wide adoption of roll film. Glass negatives were a popular medium at the time for their ability to produce sharp and detailed images, making them a cornerstone of early photojournalism and documentation.

    The Bain News Service was key in chronicling contemporary events and figures, contributing significantly to the visual history of the United States. The service was known for its substantial output, capturing everything from portraits of politicians to snapshots of everyday life. Photographs like this one not only serve as a record of individuals but also embody the trends and societal norms of the early 1900s. The clarity and fidelity of glass negatives make them particular valuable for understanding the past, providing a connection to the people and the times they lived in.
