    Early 20th Century Portrait of a Unique Innovator

    $19.95

    This photograph features S.J. Bailey, captured between 1910 and 1915, during a time of significant social and technological change in the United States. The early 20th century was marked by the rise of industrialization, urbanization, and shifts in cultural norms. Bailey’s portrait represents not only the individual but also the broader trends of societal transformation occurring in this era. The image was produced as a glass negative by the Bain News Service, a leading provider of news photos in the early 1900s, reflecting the growing importance of visual media in journalism and public life.

    The Bain News Service played a crucial role in documenting American life through photography, creating a visual record of significant events, figures, and daily experiences. With advancements in technology, glass plate negatives allowed for greater clarity and detail in photography, helping to preserve moments that would have otherwise been lost. The precision of this technique is evident in the captured details, providing a clear glimpse into the fashion, demeanor, and environment of the time, and showcasing S.J. Bailey as part of this rich historical tapestry. Each photograph serves as a valuable artifact, telling stories of people and places from an important period in history.
