Mrs. Medill McCormick, whose caption names her as the wife of the Chicago newspaper figure Medill McCormick, appears here with a Mrs. M. Longworth. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, made the glass negative, and its pictures recorded society, politics and public life in the early twentieth century. The names come from caption data the agency wrote on the plate and card, which have not been independently verified, so read the pairing as the agency's record. Glass negatives like this one hold fine tonal detail that is useful to researchers of dress and social history.
