The title names a woman, Geraldine Thompson, but the record notes that the name comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so her identity and the occasion are not confirmed. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with news and feature photographs in the early twentieth century. Glass plates were the standard medium for press work of that period, and their sharp detail is one reason the collection remains useful to researchers of everyday life in New York and beyond.
