The record gives the name Lynn Fontanne, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card. Fontanne, a British-born actress, became a leading figure on the New York stage and was best known for her long partnership with Alfred Lunt. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of performers, politicians and newsworthy people in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives like this one show how theater portraiture was made and circulated at the time.
