Laurence Alma-Tadema, the daughter of the Dutch-born painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema, is named in this glass negative from the Bain News Service. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified notes written by the agency, so the sitter's identity should be treated as provisional. Bain's company supplied newspapers and magazines with news and feature photographs in New York from the early 1900s into the 1920s, so the picture likely reflects that commercial purpose. Its glass negative format is typical of the collection, and it offers a glimpse of how the agency recorded notable people of the era.
