The title on this glass negative names a Queen Alexander, but the record notes that it comes from unverified caption data, so the sitter's identity remains open. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds work from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs of royalty, politicians, and other newsworthy figures to newspapers in the early 1900s. Without a date or setting in the record, the most reliable clues to when and where this picture was made are the Bain studio's broader output from roughly 1900 to 1920.
