The name Ora Carew comes from a caption on this Bain News Service glass negative, though the record does not confirm it and gives no date or setting. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, built from the work of a New York news photo agency that George Grantham Bain started around the turn of the twentieth century. Its photographers supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures, events and street life, and the small glass plates, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were filed by subject and caption. Treat the name as a starting point for research rather than a settled identification.
