The subject here is Norma Talmadge, the silent-film actress whose face fills this glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency that Grantham Bain founded, made pictures like this to sell to newspapers and magazines in the 1910s and early 1920s, when movie stars were becoming some of the most photographed people in the country. Talmadge was one of the leading dramatic actresses of that era, and the agency's files preserve how the film press presented stars to a public eager for their images. The record gives no date, so the identification rests on the agency's own caption data.
