Mrs. Tsuneko Watanabe is identified only by a name on the negative and its caption card, and the Library of Congress notes that this title has not been verified, so the sitter's identity and role remain open. The image survives as a small glass negative, a format that press photographers of the early twentieth century used for quick portraits they could print on demand. The Bain News Service, the New York picture agency whose files make up this collection, supplied newspapers and magazines with images of people in the news, public figures, and everyday subjects, so portraits like this one offer a view of how such agencies recorded their sitters.
