The only identifying detail on this glass negative is the title, Cora Chase, which the record flags as unverified information from the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity remains uncertain. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service in New York, a commercial agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of news events, public figures and performers in the early 20th century. Glass negatives of this kind were valued for their fine detail, and the agency's portraits offer a useful view of how working photographers recorded people in that period.
