Priscilla Dean was a silent-film actress whose name appears here on a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the press archive of the Bain News Service in New York. Bain's photographers worked for newspapers and magazines in the 1910s and early 1920s, documenting stage performers, politicians and public events, and their portraits of film stars were sent out to editors as publicity and news images. The caption on this negative is recorded as unverified, so the identification rests on the original notation rather than a confirmed date or setting.
