The name on this glass negative, "Cunningham (Helen)," comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its card, and the library has not verified it, so the identity of the subject should be treated as provisional. George Grantham Bain built his agency in New York in the early 1900s to supply news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives document a wide range of people and events of that era. Small glass plates like this one, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the working format of such agencies, and the collection as a whole gives a sense of how press photography was made and distributed before the wide use of film and print syndication.
