Her name on this glass negative is the detail that sets it apart. The Bain News Service caption attached to it is unverified, so the sitter's identity should be treated as provisional. Ada Jones was among the most popular recording artists of the early phonograph era, known for comic songs and her duets with Billy Murray. The Bain News Service, run by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied press photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so a portrait like this would have circulated as a publicity or news image of a performer.
