The record identifies the sitter as Mrs. O.H.P. Belmont, the name used by Alva Vanderbilt Belmont after her 1896 marriage to Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont. The name comes from Bain News Service caption information that has not been verified, so the occasion and date are unrecorded. Belmont was a wealthy socialite who became a prominent leader of the American woman suffrage movement in the 1910s, and press portraits of women like her show how news photographers covered public figures of the period.
