The record names only the sitter's title, Duchess of Westminster, and notes that even this comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card. The title belonged to the Grosvenor family's ducal line in England, so the sitter could be any of several women who held it, and no date is recorded. The glass negative is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its fast, press-oriented work makes the caption worth checking against other sources before trusting the name.
