Vera Morris is shown seated indoors in a riding outfit, a detail that marks this glass negative as a portrait of a woman dressed for horseback riding rather than a scene of a stable or hunt. The record dates it to November 1910, though the date and the sitter's name come from the Bain News Service's own notes, which the Library of Congress lists as unverified. Bain News Service, founded in New York in 1901 by George Grantham Bain, sold news and feature pictures to newspapers, so images like this one were made to be reproduced quickly for print. Its glass negatives remain one of the best records of American daily life in the early twentieth century, including fashion and leisure.
