A woman identified only as "West Indian" in the title is the sole subject of this glass negative, though the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded, which the Library of Congress notes has not been independently verified. George Grantham Bain ran a New York news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its negatives document a broad range of people, places and events. Because the record gives no date or further identifying details, the sitter's name, the setting and the circumstances of the portrait are unknown. Viewers interested in this picture may want to look at the surrounding Bain negatives, which share the agency's conventions for captioning and may help place the image in time.
