This glass negative is catalogued under the name Countess Cristina Casati, a sitter the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its caption card, though the record marks that identification as unverified. The Bain agency, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of public figures, society personalities and current events in the early twentieth century, so a portrait like this was likely made for quick publication. Because the record gives no date, the picture is best read as an example of that commercial practice, and its caption should be checked against other sources before it is repeated.
