The caption card names the sitter as Mrs. Robert Edward Lee III, and the print is dated around 1921 and marked as a numbered photoprint by Underwood & Underwood, the New York firm known for its wide-selling stereographs and press and studio photographs. Because the record says its details come from an unverified caption card, the name and date are best read as the publisher's label rather than confirmed fact. The surname may prompt viewers to think of the Lee family of Virginia, but nothing in the record establishes such a connection. The print still shows how commercial portrait studios of the early 1920s produced and circulated images of individuals for a broad public.
