The record names this glass negative for Henrietta A. Simmons, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified information written on the negatives or caption cards, and no date is recorded. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates of this size were the standard working medium of press photographers then, so the negative itself shows the technical habits of the period. Its sharpness and tonal range are worth noticing, along with the caption cards that tie it to the agency's daily output.
