The only identifying detail here is the name Minnie Bond, and the Library of Congress notes that it comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its card, without independent verification. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs of current events and notable people. Its glass negatives, made mostly in the early twentieth century, document a wide range of American life. With no date on record, the sitter's identity and the occasion remain open, though the glass plate format points to the period before film became common in press work.
