Pauline Frederick, a stage and silent-film actress, is the name given for this glass negative, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card. Frederick became one of the best-known American dramatic performers of the 1910s, moving from Broadway to the screen. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, produced pictures like this for newspapers and magazines, so portraits of performers from that period were made for quick publication. The record gives no date, so the exact year of the sitting is uncertain.
