The record names its subject only as Mattie Baldwin, and that title comes from caption information the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its card, which has not been independently verified. The picture is a single glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, a format widely used by news photographers in the early twentieth century. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo agency in New York in the early 1900s, and it supplied pictures of people and events to newspapers, so the collection shows how working press images were made and captioned in that era. Without a firm date, the sitter's identity and the circumstances of the sitting remain open questions.
