This portrait is a glass negative from the Bain News Service, a New York press photo agency that supplied newspapers with images from about 1899 into the early 1930s. The record names both Ethel Harriman and Mrs. Borden Harriman, a form of address that points to a married woman of her social standing in that era, but it gives no date and the caption information is unverified. Bain's studio work often captured prominent New Yorkers and Washington figures for the illustrated press, so the sitter was likely chosen for public interest. The glass plate format itself is worth noting, since it was the standard medium for news photography before roll film and faster cameras took over.
