Two society figures, Elise W. Ladew and Mrs. W.R. Grace, are named in this glass negative's title, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified caption data and the date is unknown. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with news and celebrity photographs in the early twentieth century. Portraits of prominent women were a staple of that trade, so the picture offers a window into how wealthy New Yorkers presented themselves to the public during the agency's active years.
