The record gives this glass negative the name Mary Helen Carlisle, though that identification comes from caption cards and has not been independently verified, and no date is recorded. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work produced by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Bain's glass negatives, often portraits of public figures and scenes from current events, are valued for documenting that period's press photography. Because the sitter's identity and the picture's date remain uncertain, the image is best read as a document of the agency's practice and the era in which it was made.
