The sitter is recorded as Julie Herne, a name the Bain News Service noted on its negatives or caption cards, though the record marks that identification as unverified. Bain's New York operation made many portraits of stage performers and public figures in the early twentieth century, and a theatrical name like this fits that work. If the name is correct, Julie Herne may be linked to the stage family of the playwright James A. Herne, which would place the portrait in New York theater circles of that era. Glass negatives of this small size preserve fine detail, which is why plates like this remain useful to researchers.
