The sitter here is recorded as Miss Alice Carpenter, though the Library of Congress notes that the name comes from caption information supplied by the Bain News Service and has not been independently verified. The picture survives as a small glass negative, a format that news photographers of the period used for quick printing and wire transmission. The Bain News Service was a New York agency that sold pictures of public figures, events and everyday subjects to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the collection gives a broad view of that era's press photography. Because the date is missing from the record, the portrait's exact year is uncertain.
