The record names the subject as Yvonne Georges, a stage performer, though the title comes from caption cards and the Bain News Service's own notes and has not been independently verified. The Bain News Service, a New York agency active from about 1899 into the 1920s, supplied newspapers with portraits of actors, dancers, singers, and other public figures, so this glass negative likely belongs to that trade of theatrical portraiture. Glass plates like this one were the standard working format for press photography of the period, and they often survive as the only record of a sitter's appearance.
