Little is firmly documented about this portrait of a woman identified only as Mrs. L. Burbank. The name comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, and the record marks it as unverified. The picture is a glass negative, a format the agency relied on in the early twentieth century, when it supplied news and portrait photographs to newspapers and magazines. George Grantham Bain built the archive in New York, and its images offer a useful view of the period. An undated individual portrait like this one is best read as a record of a sitter and a studio practice rather than of a specific event.
