A mother and daughter, Mrs. Payne Whitney and Flora Whitney, are the subjects of this glass negative from the Bain News Service. The Whitneys were a prominent New York family, and Helen Hay Whitney, the wife of financier Payne Whitney, was a well-known society figure of the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption data that has not been independently verified. Bain's studio made thousands of press and portrait pictures of public figures in New York from about 1900 into the 1920s, so this negative offers a glimpse of how elite families were photographed for the news in that period.
