This glass negative pairs two sitters, Miriam Harriman and Mrs. J.W. Harriman, and it is one of the portraits from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the names come from caption cards that the library has not verified, so the identities and relationship should be treated as provisional. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium of news photography before roll film became common, and their sharp detail is part of what makes the Bain collection useful to researchers.
