The sitter is identified only as Helen J. Owen, a title the Library of Congress took from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the name should be read as a working label rather than a confirmed identity. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded in 1899 that supplied newspapers with news and portrait photographs in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were valued for their sharp detail, and the collection as a whole gives a useful view of press photography from that period.
