The sitter is named only as Mrs. B. Frank Mebane, a title the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, and the library notes that this identification has not been verified. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of public figures and everyday subjects in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives of this small size were a common working format of the period, and the undated record leaves the occasion for the portrait open.
