The record gives the title Princess Vlora, but the Bain News Service took that name from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so it should be read as a working label rather than a confirmed identity. Vlora is best known as an Albanian port city on the Adriatic coast, which may explain the name, though nothing in the record establishes a connection. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo agency in New York in the early 1900s, and its glass negatives supplied newspapers with portraits and news pictures of the day. Because this plate is undated, its exact time and circumstances remain uncertain.
