The caption identifies the sitter as Mrs. O.H.P. Belmont, a name that points to Alva Belmont, the New York society figure who put her wealth and social standing behind women's suffrage in the 1910s. She helped fund the cause and backed the National Woman's Party. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied portraits of public figures to newspapers, so this negative was likely made for a news story. The record gives no date, but much of the Bain collection dates from the early 1900s through the 1920s.
