The sign-like caption "LAW NOT WAR!!!" is what sets this portrait of Mrs. Daniel O'Day apart, and it suggests she was pictured as a supporter of a peace cause. The Bain News Service, a Manhattan agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, recorded the subject from a glass negative, but the record gives no date. The slogan echoes the antiwar and arbitration campaigns that grew during the years before the United States entered World War I. The title comes from the agency's own unverified notes, so the slogan's exact meaning in this sitting is worth reading with some caution.
