The title on this glass negative pairs a man's name, Ralph E. Beardsley, with a woman identified only as Miss Smith, and the cataloging notes say the Bain News Service data behind that title is unverified, so the identities should be read as tentative. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the news photography agency George Grantham Bain founded in New York around 1899 to supply pictures to newspapers. Its small-format glass plates record the people and events that filled the press in the early twentieth century, and this portrait is one example of that commercial output.
