Elise W. Ladew is the name given to this glass negative, one of many portraits in the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1900, made and distributed images of politicians, performers, athletes, and other people in the news, and it stored them as glass negatives before prints were ordered. The title comes from caption information written on the negatives or cards at the agency, which the Library notes is unverified, so the identity of the sitter should be checked against other sources before it is repeated as fact.
