Maude Odell is named here in a portrait bust, a format that records a sitter's head and shoulders in a single, formal view. The picture dates to September 1908, when the Bain News Service was supplying New York newspapers with pictures of stage performers, public figures and city life. The title comes from information the agency wrote on its negatives or caption cards, which the Library of Congress notes has not been independently verified, so the subject's identity and the exact nature of the bust are worth checking against other records. The glass negative format of the Bain collection gives the image its sharp detail, and it reflects how quickly press photographs were made and circulated in that period.
