The record identifies the sitter only as Edna W. Hopper, a name taken from unverified notes by the Bain News Service on its negatives and caption cards, so the attribution is not confirmed. If the name is accurate, it may refer to Edna Wallace Hopper, a stage actress and musical comedy performer who worked on Broadway in the early 1900s, when the Bain studio in New York photographed many performers and public figures. The picture survives as a glass negative, a fragile format common in newspaper and studio work of that period. With no firm date in the record, its exact year can only be inferred from the studio's active years.
