The name Madeline Brine is what sets this glass negative apart, though the title comes from unverified caption data, so it should be read with caution. George Grantham Bain founded his New York news photo agency in 1899, and it supplied newspapers with pictures of events and people, with glass plates standing in for the film that later became standard. The record gives no date, so the picture is best placed in the early twentieth century, when agency photographs of ordinary people and public figures reached readers alongside the day's headlines.
