A portrait of Miss Margaret Quinby in a large, wide-brimmed hat, this picture survives as a glass negative, a fragile format that captured fine detail in the early 1900s. It comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain that supplied news and feature photographs to newspapers. The record gives no date, and its title is taken from caption cards that the library describes as unverified, so the sitter's identity and the occasion are not confirmed. The "1/2" in the title suggests it was one of two frames made of the same pose, a common practice in studio and press work of the period.
