The record names this glass negative Mrs. S. Blackton, but the Bain News Service attached that title to its negatives or caption cards without verifying it, so the sitter's identity remains tentative. The plate is one of many small-format negatives from Bain's New York operation, which was founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with news photographs and portraits. With no firm date recorded, it likely dates to the service's working years in the early twentieth century, when glass plates were still standard for press work. Anyone relying on the name should check the original caption card and related entries first.
