This glass negative is catalogued under the name Dorothea C. D'A. Kibbe, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the identification is not confirmed. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of press photographers of that era, valued for sharp detail and for the quick printing they allowed. The record gives no date, so the picture is best understood as part of that wider body of Bain's work.
