The record identifies the subject as Isabelle Wanamaker, though the date is unknown and the title comes from unverified caption data. The image survives as a glass negative, a format that was standard for press photographers in the early twentieth century and that captures fine detail, but that also makes the original fragile. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, built from the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied pictures of people and events to newspapers during the early decades of the 1900s.
