The name on this glass negative, Bertha M. Furman, comes from caption cards and data kept by the Bain News Service, though the record flags it as unverified. The negative is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a news picture agency that George Grantham Bain started in New York around 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs of people and events. The record gives no date, so the sitter's life and the occasion are best approached through the agency's working methods, which depended on quickly captioned glass plates. Researchers often check those caption cards first when tracing the context of a portrait like this one.
