The title on this glass negative, Lady Eaton, comes from the Bain News Service's own records and is unverified, so the sitter's identity is worth holding loosely. The name most likely points to the wife of Sir John Craig Eaton, whose family ran the Toronto department store that carried their name. Bain's New York studio supplied portraits and news pictures to newspapers across the country in the early twentieth century, and glass plates like this one were the working format of that era, valued for their sharp detail.
