The record identifies the sitter as Mrs. Coffin Van Rensselaer, a name linked to the Van Rensselaer family, whose Dutch-descended line was prominent in New York for generations. The title comes from caption cards the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, and the record notes it as unverified, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The negative belongs to the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs of people and events to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium of press photography of that era, and they hold fine detail in faces and clothing.
