The name on this glass negative, Marion Hollis, comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded with its plates, and it has not been independently verified, so the sitter and the occasion remain uncertain. Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives reflect the fast, deadline-driven pace of that work. The record gives no date, but the glass plate format points to the years before flexible film largely replaced it.
