The record names two women, Marguerite Allen and May P. Todd, though the title comes from unverified caption data that the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives or caption cards, so the identifications and the occasion are not confirmed. The picture is a glass negative of a size no larger than 5 by 7 inches, the format Bain's staff used for the news and portrait pictures they distributed to newspapers in the early 1900s. Bain's agency photographed people in the news, public figures, and everyday scenes, and its files now serve as a window onto that period's dress, studio practice, and daily life. Viewers interested in the sitters should treat the names as a starting point for further research.
