Two women, identified in the record only as Wilhelmina Ruperti and Ida Ruperti, appear in this glass negative, and their names are the main detail the record offers. The title comes from caption cards and data supplied by the Bain News Service, which the Library of Congress describes as unverified, and no date or setting is recorded. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded around 1899, sold news photographs and portraits to newspapers and magazines for decades, and its plates were usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, a size suited to quick printing. The collection shows how press photography documented everyday and public life in the early twentieth century.
