The name on this plate is Marjorie Ficken, though the record notes that it comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card by the Bain News Service. The image survives as a single glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, a format that news photographers and portrait studios relied on before flexible film became standard in the 1920s. George Grantham Bain founded the Bain News Service in New York around 1899 to supply newspapers and magazines with pictures of people and events in the news, so the plate reflects the fast, commercial pace of that era.
