Two women, recorded as Elise Robt. and Dorothy Kahn, are named in the caption for this glass negative, though the record notes that these names come from unverified information on the negative or its caption card. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work produced by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The date is not recorded, so the sitting is best understood within that period of fast, commercial newspaper photography, when agency pictures often reached print soon after they were taken.
