The record names a single sitter, Rheba Crawford, and that name is what sets this negative apart from the other portraits on the board. The title comes from data the Bain News Service wrote on the negatives or caption cards, and the library has not verified it, so the identity and the date remain uncertain. Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with news and portrait photographs in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives, now held by the Library of Congress, record the work of a busy commercial studio, and the small glass plates are worth noticing for their fine detail.
