Shown on her way to court, the woman identified as Mrs. Daisy Grace appears in a glass negative with no recorded date, and its title rests on unverified caption information from the Bain News Service. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the archive of a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of current events in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this were the standard tool of news photographers of the period, valued for their sharp detail. Legal proceedings were a steady subject for such agencies, so the picture offers a quiet glimpse of how courthouse news was documented.
