Catalogued as Mrs. Vincent Astor, this glass negative is tied to a New York socialite who married Vincent Astor, son of John Jacob Astor IV, in 1914. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency active from about 1899 into the early 1930s, sold pictures like this one to newspapers and magazines, and its staff often wrote names on negatives or caption cards. The title is unverified, so the exact date and occasion remain uncertain, but the small glass plate format is typical of the agency's early twentieth-century work.
