The title points to an animal named Jenny in a Hagenbeck show, though the record does not confirm the species or the location abbreviated as "N. Fr." Carl Hagenbeck was a German animal dealer whose traveling exhibitions drew large crowds in Europe and America in the early 1900s. This glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers at a time when glass plates were the standard medium for that work.
