What sets this picture apart is its title, which pairs the name Fontana with a bride. The Library of Congress notes that this wording comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card, and the record gives no date, so the occasion itself remains unconfirmed. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one record fine detail that later film could not always match.
