The only identifier for this glass negative is the name Ruth Dwyer, and the record notes that it comes from unverified caption data, so the sitter's identity and the date are not confirmed. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the archive of the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded around 1899 that supplied newspapers with news and feature photographs. Its staff labeled negatives and caption cards as images moved through the office, so names were sometimes recorded loosely. Glass negatives like this one were the standard format of the period before film became dominant.
