A portrait identified only as Mrs. J.S. Crosby, though the sitter's name comes from unverified information recorded by the Bain News Service and the record gives no date. The image survives as a small glass negative, the fragile medium that photographers used widely before flexible film took over. Bain News Service, the New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain, supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its archive of tens of thousands of negatives now gives researchers a broad view of American public life in those years. The lack of a confirmed name or date means the picture is best read as a glimpse of studio and newspaper portraiture of its era.
