Margherita Beriza is identified here only by name, and the record notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or caption card, so the sitter's identity should be treated as provisional. The glass negative is one of the many portraits issued by the Bain News Service, the New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain founded in the early 1900s to supply newspapers with news and celebrity photographs. Bain's files were heavily weighted toward stage performers, public figures and current events, and their glass plates, usually no larger than 5 by 7 inches, record how press photography was made before film became the standard for newspapers. The missing date makes it harder to place the sitter in a specific season or production, so the picture is best read as a window onto that commercial portrait trade.
