The record names this sitter as Helen Herendon, but that name comes from unverified information written on the negative or its caption card, so it is best read as a working identification. The plate is a glass negative from the Bain News Service, the New York operation run by George Grantham Bain that supplied newspapers with portraits and event photographs in the early twentieth century. The collection is valued for documenting the faces and happenings of that era. No date is recorded, so the exact year remains uncertain.
