The record gives the name Martha Van Rensselaer, though the title comes from caption cards and has not been verified against other sources. Van Rensselaer is best known as an educator who helped establish home economics as a field of university study in New York in the early twentieth century. The picture is a glass negative from the Bain News Service, a commercial agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers from about 1899 through the 1920s. Because the date is not recorded, the exact occasion is uncertain, but the collection as a whole offers a useful view of the people and events the press was covering in that era.
