The record names this negative Claire Galligan, but it also flags that title as unverified, taken from notes on the negative or its caption card, so the identity of the subject should be treated as provisional. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work produced by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its photographers covered politics, theater, sports and street life, and glass plates of this small size were a common format of the period. With no date in the record, the image is best understood through its agency origins and the press culture that shaped it.
