This glass negative portrait is catalogued under the name Mrs. G.G. Battle, a title the Library of Congress notes was taken from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity and the date remain uncertain. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the output of the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded around 1899 that supplied photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. The small format, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, was typical of the quick, portable plates that photographers of that era used for news and portrait work. Viewers interested in the collection can compare this sitter's clothing and studio setting with other Bain plates to place it in time.
