A portrait of a woman identified as Mrs. W.D. Mowry, a name taken from Bain News Service caption cards and recorded as unverified. The record gives no date, so the picture is best placed by its format: a glass negative of the kind the agency used heavily in the early twentieth century, when it supplied news and portrait photographs to newspapers. George Grantham Bain founded the service in New York around 1899, and its files preserve the faces, events and public figures that editors wanted for print. Researchers should treat the name as a lead to be confirmed rather than a settled fact.
