The name on this glass negative, Julia Littlell, appears in the record as Mrs. Alex Patch, and the caption information is unverified, so the exact occasion and date remain uncertain. Her husband, Alexander Patch, was a U.S. Army officer who later commanded the Seventh Army during the Second World War. The Bain News Service, the New York press agency whose photographers recorded public figures and current events in the early twentieth century, produced the negative. Glass negatives of this size preserve fine tonal detail, which is part of what makes such portraits worth a closer look.
