This photograph shows Jane Addams leaving Mercy Hospital in Chicago, the city where she co-founded Hull House in 1889 and built a reputation for social reform, public health and labor advocacy. The record gives no date, and its title comes from caption data the Bain News Service supplied and that has not been independently verified, so the exact occasion is unclear. Bain's staff made press pictures of public figures for newspapers and magazines, so the image likely documents Addams in the public eye. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931, and photographs like this one help show how closely her work was followed in the press.
