This glass negative is a portrait of a woman the record identifies as Mrs. Horace Hevemeyer, a name the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its caption card, though the cataloguers flag it as unverified. George Grantham Bain founded the Bain News Service in New York, a picture agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with photographs of people and events in the early twentieth century. Its negatives, now held by the Library of Congress, are valued for documenting the faces and fashions of the period, even when, as here, the sitter's identity and the exact date remain uncertain.
