The title on this glass negative is Ida Craft, though the Library of Congress notes that the name comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the identity of the sitter or subject is not confirmed. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century and built a large archive of prints and negatives. Glass plates of this size were the standard working medium for press photographers of that era, so the physical format itself places the picture within that newsroom practice. Viewers interested in the image should weigh the uncertain title alongside the collection's wider record.
