The caption on this glass negative names H.C. Christy and his wife, but the record gives no date and the identification is unverified. The initials most likely refer to the illustrator Howard Chandler Christy, whose glamorous portraits of women were widely reproduced in American magazines in the early twentieth century. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs. Treat the names as a lead for further research rather than settled fact.
