Little is recorded about this sitter beyond the name Mrs. Hollis Hunnewell, which the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its caption card, and the title itself has not been verified. The glass plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, assembled by a New York photo agency that began in 1899 and supplied pictures of people and events to newspapers. Portraits made on large glass negatives like this one show how press photographers of the early twentieth century worked, with posed, carefully lit compositions that reproduced well in print. The exact date is not given, so the picture is best read as an example of the agency's portrait work from that period.
