Here a young woman named Alice Calhoun stands beside a cow, a pairing that stands out among the many portraits and news pictures in the George Grantham Bain Collection. The Bain News Service, a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain in the early 1900s, sold photographs to newspapers and magazines, and its glass negatives record a wide range of American life from roughly 1900 to 1920. The record gives no date for this exposure, and the name comes from unverified notes on the negative or caption card, so the identification should be treated as provisional. Rural subjects like this one show how the agency's pictures also covered farm life and novelty scenes alongside urban events.
