A glass negative captioned "Polly Salisbury," though the record marks that name as unverified, so the sitter and the occasion remain uncertain. It comes from the Bain News Service, a New York press photo agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to sell news pictures to newspapers and magazines. Small glass plates like this one, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the standard working medium for such agencies until flexible film largely replaced them. Treat the name as the agency's own caption rather than a confirmed identification.
