The pairing of Mrs. Julian La Rose Harris and Marcel Lenoir is what distinguishes this negative, though the names come from caption cards and notes the Bain News Service attached to the plate, and they have not been independently verified. Bain News Service was a New York agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with photographs of current events and notable people in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives survive in large numbers. With no date recorded here, the image is best read through that working practice: quick portraits made for editors who needed names and faces to run alongside a story.
