The only identifying detail here is the title "Mrs. Roosevelt," which comes from caption cards and negative sleeves that the Library of Congress describes as unverified. Given the board this image belongs to, the sitter was most likely Edith Roosevelt, wife of President Theodore Roosevelt during his White House years from 1901 to 1909, though the record does not confirm it. The Bain News Service was a commercial photo agency that sold pictures of public figures to newspapers, and its glass negatives, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, preserve the sharp detail of early news photography.
