The sitter is identified only by the name Mrs. H.A.C. Van Der Flier, and the record notes that this title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so her identity and the occasion remain uncertain. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded around 1899 that sold news pictures to newspapers. The collection holds tens of thousands of such negatives, and its portraits often show how press photographers of the early twentieth century recorded prominent and everyday people. Because no date is recorded, the picture is best understood within that broader period of studio and news portraiture.
