Known only as Mrs. Harry L. Keefe, this portrait carries a name that Bain News Service wrote on its caption cards. The archive's data flags that title as unverified, so the sitter's identity and the date of the sitting remain open. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain around 1899, and its staff supplied photographs of public figures, events and everyday people to newspapers. Glass negatives of this size, about 5 by 7 inches, were a common working format of that period, and they show the craft of early twentieth-century photography before flexible film became widespread.
