The record names its subject as Lura Anson, a title taken from the Bain News Service negative or caption card and marked by the Library of Congress as unverified, so little else about the sitting can be confirmed. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs of people and events in the news. Its large-format plates date from the early twentieth century and show the working methods of early press photography. Because the identification rests on those original notes alone, viewers should treat the name as the agency's label rather than a confirmed fact.
