The caption card names this glass negative as Mrs. Willard Straight, a title the record marks as unverified. It comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs of public figures and daily events to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The name points to Dorothy Whitney Straight, who was known for her philanthropy and helped found The New Republic, the progressive weekly, in 1914. Her husband, Willard Straight, was a diplomat and banker whose career took him to East Asia, which adds context for anyone studying the couple.
