This picture is a glass negative identified by its caption as Gladys Kiertead and Emma Hanks, though the record notes that the names come from unverified caption information. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service, the New York agency Bain founded in the early 1900s, supplied photographs of people and events to newspapers, and its glass negatives are a major record of American urban life in the early twentieth century. The record does not give a date or occasion, so the setting and purpose of the portrait remain open to research.
