This glass negative is titled with four women's names: Miss Hewitt, Margaret Mason, Helen Hoadley and Jennette Gourd. The Library of Congress notes that these titles come from unverified Bain News Service data on the negatives or caption cards, so the identities and the occasion behind the picture are still uncertain. George Grantham Bain founded his New York news photo service around 1899, and it supplied images of people and events to newspapers for about two decades. Its small glass negatives, typically 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were a practical format for fast, documentary work of that era.
