The only name the record gives for this glass negative is Cynthia Perot, and the Library of Congress notes that it comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity remains unconfirmed. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that began around 1899 and supplied news pictures, public figures and everyday scenes to newspapers. Its small glass format, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, was common in press work of the period, when photographers needed sharp, durable negatives that could be printed quickly for editors.
