This portrait is identified on its caption card as Helen Lord, though the record notes that this information has not been verified. The photoprint was copyrighted by W.M. Morrison of Chicago and numbered 1, which suggests a commercial studio that issued its portraits to sitters and admirers. Photoprints like this were widely made in the late 1890s, when printing methods allowed studios to reproduce a single sitting many times over.
