Collecting for the Red Cross, with Countess Mazzuchi named in the title, places this glass negative among the wartime fundraising drives the American Red Cross ran in cities across the country during World War I. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency run by George Grantham Bain, supplied pictures of current events to newspapers and magazines, so images like this were made to be published quickly. The title comes from the Bain caption cards and has not been independently verified, so the countess's identity and the exact occasion remain open questions for researchers.
