This negative is catalogued under the name Ethel Dwyer, though the record flags that title as unverified, so the sitter's identity remains uncertain. It comes from the Bain News Service, the New York photo agency that George Grantham Bain started in the early 1900s to supply newspapers with pictures of current events and notable people. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium for press photographers until roll film and smaller cameras replaced them, and the collection as a whole gives a close view of American life in those years. The record gives no date, so the picture is best placed within that broad period.
