The name on this glass negative, Mary Rutter Towle, comes from caption cards and negative sleeves that the Bain News Service used, and the Library of Congress notes that the identification has not been independently verified. The Bain agency, run in New York by George Grantham Bain, sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century and worked quickly to meet their demand. The record gives no date, so the best clues are the format and origin: a small glass plate from a commercial news operation during that busy period. Viewers should treat the sitter's identity as a working label rather than settled fact.
