Six women are named together in the caption for this glass negative: Henel Ware, Grace Schnebe, Chrystal Hearn, Frances Starr, Gladys Hanson and Lucy Weston. The listing suggests a group sitting or a set of portraits made for one purpose. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency started by George Grantham Bain around 1899, sold pictures to newspapers, and its negatives were usually made on glass plates like this one. The names come from caption cards that the Library of Congress describes as unverified, so the identities and occasion remain uncertain, but the picture fits the kind of press portrait that filled early twentieth-century newspapers.
