Five named sitters appear in this glass negative's title, and the one listed as Mrs. T. Roosevelt, Jr. links the picture to a well-known New York family. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, so the names are recorded as written rather than confirmed. Bain was a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of people in the news in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives document that trade. Treat the names as the photographer's labels, which are useful leads for further research rather than settled identifications.
