This glass negative is catalogued under the name Helen Ware, a title the record notes comes from unverified caption data written by the Bain News Service. Because the date is unknown, the exact occasion and the sitter's identity should be confirmed before they are treated as settled. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold news and portrait images to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates capture the look of that period's press photography. Its negatives often carry hand-written captions, so the image is best read as a record of how one studio labeled and circulated its subjects.
