The record identifies the sitter as Mrs. Hilton Young, with "Lady Scott" in parentheses, which points to Kathleen Scott, the sculptor who was widowed when Captain Robert Falcon Scott died on his return from the South Pole in 1912. She remarried in 1922 to Edward Hilton Young, a British politician, and both names appear in the title. The Bain News Service caption is unverified, so the identification and the date should be checked against the Library of Congress catalog. Bain's glass negatives came from a New York news photography agency active in the early twentieth century, and its pictures were often used to illustrate newspaper stories of the day.
