Labeled with the names Carmen and Loftus, this glass negative carries a title the Bain News Service recorded on the plate or its caption card, though the Library of Congress notes that the data has not been verified, so the identities of the subjects remain provisional. The date in the record, December 10, 1912, places it in the years when Bain's New York agency was photographing stage performers, public figures and newsworthy people for newspaper use. Made on a glass plate of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, the negative reflects the working methods of the period, when photographers relied on fragile plates that had to be developed and printed with care. Surviving collections like this one preserve a record of the city's theatrical and public life in the early twentieth century.
