Here a woman identified in the caption as Mrs. Cunningham is shown on the ice, though the record notes that this name comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, assembled from the work of the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news and feature photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s. Ice skating was a popular winter pastime then, and portraits of skaters like this one show how leisure and fashion were recorded for the press. Because the record gives no date, the exact occasion remains unknown.
