The sitter is recorded only as Mrs. Nicholas Biddle, a name the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its caption card, and the library lists that identification as unverified. The Biddle surname is closely associated with a prominent Philadelphia family, but this record does not link the portrait to any specific member. Bain News Service, a New York agency, supplied newspapers with photographs of people and events in the early twentieth century, and glass negatives like this one were the working medium of that press photography.
