Here's a brief biography of A. Bertram Samuels, who may be the A. B. Samuels in the photo above. His age seems to be appropriate.

TYPHUS, WAR'S DREAD ALLY, BEATEN; News of Dr. Harry Plotz's Vaccine Discovery Comes When Europe Faces Awful Ravages from Scourge. April 18, 1915 The announcement of the discovery of a protective vaccine against typhus fever, the dreadful scourge that dogs the heels of war, following closely upon the confirmation of the germ origin of the disease by repeated demonstrations of a distinct causative agent visible under the microscope, is but another instance of the accuracy of modern laboratory methods and the continual progress of medical science. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20C1EFE385C1373...

New York Times, July 19, 1915 "Dr. Samuel H. Hodge of Knoxville, Tenn., who went to Serbia last November with Dr. James Donnelly to serve with the American Red Cross, returned yesterday on the White Star liner Cymric from Liverpool for a rest. He left Saloniki with ten American nurses for Marseilles on board Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin and called at Malta on the way...." The article goes on to quote Dr. Hodge about typhus in Serbia. The Bain photo looks like it was taken on shipboard.

Bain seems to have had a photographer around to shoot notables arriving and departing New York on ocean liners. The Cymric was sunk the following year by the U-boat that sank the Lusitania in 1915. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Cymric Seems like the original design of this ship contained an actual "cattle class", but the space was redesigned for 3rd Class human accommodations instead.
