This glass negative is catalogued under the title "Adm. Easton's wife," a caption that the Library of Congress notes is unverified and was taken from the Bain News Service negatives or caption cards. The figure is presumably the spouse of a naval officer named Easton, but the record does not give her name or the date, so the identification rests on the caption alone. George Grantham Bain founded his New York news photography service around 1899, and it supplied pictures of public figures, society people and current events to newspapers. Its glass negatives, like this one, are a useful record of how press portraits were made in the early twentieth century.
