The record gives the name Mildred Bromwell, but the title comes from caption cards and has not been verified, so the sitter's identity should be treated as provisional. The negative belongs to the Bain News Service, the New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with portraits and news photographs. Made on glass in sizes of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, it shows the fine detail that makes these early press negatives useful to researchers of twentieth-century photojournalism.
