The record names this picture "Robins Wilton," a title the Bain News Service supplied on the negative or caption card and that the Library of Congress has not verified, so the subject's identity should be treated as tentative. The item is a single glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, a format Bain's staff used widely for quick news and portrait work. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo service in New York in the early 1900s, and his files document people, events, and street life in the city and beyond until the 1920s. Its catalog dates are often uncertain, so the negative's format and collection history are the surest clues to its origin.
