In the pulsating streets of New York, surrounded by rushing energy and eternal movement, George Grantham Bain unfolded his life and work. Born in Chicago on January 7, 1865, he later emerged as the renowned "father of foreign photographic news." Bain grew up in Chicago and later in St. Louis, Missouri, where his family moved. The chemistry he studied at Saint Louis University formed only part of his multi-faceted education - he graduated with a law degree. After fulfilling his academic ambitions, he found his calling in journalism, first as a reporter for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat before moving to the capital as a correspondent for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. But the real revolution in his career began in 1898 with the founding of the Bain News Service.
Bain filled the world with vivid snapshots until his death at age 79 on April 20, 1944. His impressive legacy is expressed in the George Grantham Bain Collection in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. This extensive collection includes some 40,000 glass plate negatives and 50,000 photographic prints. Much of the collection, which spans decades, from the 1860s to the 1930s, is accessible online. The collection's impressive diversity illuminates not only Bain's tireless dedication to documenting everyday life in New York City, but also his interest in global events.
Among the vibrant artworks Bain left behind are portraits of sporting events, theatrical performances, celebrities, criminal cases, strikes, disasters, and political activities-even the women's suffrage campaign. Bain's work is not only a documentary treasure trove, but also provides the ideal raw material for fine art prints that illustrate the vibrant history of the early 20th century. The beauty of his photographs reflects the high standard of our fine art prints. They bring back the past times and allow us to view the world through the lens of a visionary photographer. With each art print of George Grantham Bain's works, you feel the artist's breathtaking ability to capture the essence of his time. As such, they are more than mere decoration, but a key to a bygone era, captured through the lens of a true master of his craft.
