Only the name Damaris Lee is recorded for this glass negative, and the Library of Congress notes that the identification comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the subject's identity remains uncertain. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives, usually small and made with large-format cameras, capture the city's people, events, and public life of that era. The missing date makes this portrait hard to place precisely, but its format and source point to the agency's working years.
