Blanche Bates, the American stage actress born in 1873, is the subject of this c1902 studio portrait, made by the Byron studio of New York and catalogued as its number 8 in the series. Bates was a leading performer on the American stage in the early 1900s, known for her work in Broadway productions and for her later career in films. The caption card attached to the record lists her among actresses of the period, a reminder that portrait studios such as Byron's produced many such images for theatrical audiences and the public who followed the stage.
