The record names Miss Leta Pell Wright, though the Bain News Service supplied this title from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the identification may not be confirmed. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work from a New York press photography agency that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates of this size were the standard working medium of news photographers before flexible film became common, and the agency's files capture the portrait and event work of that period. The record gives no date, so the sitter's exact time and circumstances remain open.
