This record gives few details about the occasion, but the pairing of Paul D. Cravath and Vera places the sitters among the New York professional and society figures that the Bain News Service often photographed. Cravath was a well-known New York lawyer, and a portrait of him with a companion was likely made for newspaper or magazine use. The Bain News Service, founded by George Grantham Bain, supplied news photographs from New York in the first decades of the twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working medium of that period, so the image shows the technical character of early news photography.
