Incredible photographs taken by one of America s earliest news picture agencies have emerged, with Titanic survivors, teenage suffragettes and even royalty among the images.
The pictures were produced and gathered for worldwide distribution by George Grantham Bain through his Bain News Service.
The service was established in 1898 by Bain, who was known as the father of photographic news , in New York City and worked to accumulate photographs of newsworthy events which could then be distributed to newspapers around the world.
Among the images is a photograph of 13-year-old suffragette Fay Hubbard proudly showing a young boy propaganda whilst wearing a bag labelled American Suffragette.
