The only identifying detail this glass negative carries is its title, "Lily Lou," recorded by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card, though that name is unverified. The entry gives no date or subject beyond it. George Grantham Bain started his news photo service in New York around 1899, supplying newspapers with pictures of people, places and events. Glass plates of this size were the standard working medium of that period, which helps place the image in time even without a firm date.
