Helen Cannon appears here in a side-on profile, a pose that studio portraitists of the early 1900s often favored for its clean outline. The image is a glass negative credited to Clinedinst, a Washington, D.C., studio, and it later passed into the George Grantham Bain Collection, the files of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news pictures to newspapers. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the agency recorded that has not been independently verified. Because the sitter's identity and the occasion are not documented here, the picture is best read as a portrait of its period and as an example of how studio work circulated through press archives.
