This glass negative is catalogued under the name Anita Stewart, a title taken from caption cards written by the Bain News Service, though the identification is unverified. Stewart was a silent-film actress who rose to prominence in the 1910s, and the Bain agency in New York sold pictures of stage and screen figures to newspapers and magazines. The record gives no date, so the exact year of the exposure is uncertain, but the small glass plate format reflects the agency's working practice in the early twentieth century. The plate is a useful example of how such portraits were made and circulated.
