The sitter is recorded as Margot Kelly, but that title comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Without a date, the picture is best placed by the agency's active years and its practice of making quick portraits and event pictures for the press. Collections like this one preserve a dense record of how news images were made in that period.
