The only identifying detail is the title, "Sylv. Breen," which the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card. The Library of Congress notes that this title has not been verified, so the name may be abbreviated or uncertain. The picture is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied pictures of people, events and everyday life to newspapers in the early twentieth century. With no date recorded, the image is best read as an example of that agency's working practice, a glass negative whose subject survives mainly through a single handwritten name.
