    $19.95

    This historical photograph features A.W. Butler, captured by the Bain News Service, known for its significant contributions to early 20th-century journalism and documentation. The Bain News Service was founded in 1898 and became prominent for providing news images to newspapers across the United States. Glass negatives, like the one used for this photograph, were a popular photographic medium in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, prized for their clarity and detail. This technique involved using glass plates coated with a light-sensitive emulsion, allowing photographers to produce high-quality images that could be reproduced multiple times.

    Although the exact date of this photograph isnt recorded, it reflects the eras emphasis on visual communication and the documentation of notable individuals. A.W. Butler is likely a figure of local or regional significance, perhaps involved in politics, industry, or the arts during a transformative time in American history. The fact that this photograph was created using a glass negative offers a glimpse into the technology of the time, showcasing the artistic and technical skills of photographers who helped shape visual journalism. This image is not just a representation of a person but also a window into the past, revealing how photography played a crucial role in capturing and preserving history.
