Two women, identified in the title only as Mrs. R.H. Passman and Mrs. Slade, are the subject of this glass negative, though the record notes that the names come from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded in 1899 that supplied photographs to newspapers and magazines. Its pictures were usually taken for quick publication, so portraits like this one often reflect the society and public life of the early twentieth century. The undated record gives no more detail, so the exact occasion and sitters' roles remain open to research.
