Lady Constance Richardson appears here as a glass plate negative, one of the large 8 by 10 inch sheets that the Bain News Service produced for its wire photographs in the early twentieth century. The Bain collection at the Library of Congress holds hundreds of thousands of such negatives, and the company supplied pictures of public figures, events and fashion to newspapers across the country. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information that the agency itself recorded and that has not been independently verified, so the sitter's identity and the occasion are best treated as provisional. Viewers interested in the period can still learn a good deal from the format, since glass negatives of this size captured fine detail that smaller film later could not match.
