The record identifies the sitter only as Mrs. F.T. Frelinghuysen, a title taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, and the catalog notes that this identification has not been verified. The Frelinghuysen name belongs to a prominent New Jersey family whose members held public office in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which suggests a portrait made for a newspaper or society audience. Founded in New York in 1899, the Bain News Service sold photographs to newspapers, so its portraits were often made for quick publication. Its glass negatives, like this one, preserve a working record of the period's news and social life.
