The sitter is identified only as Ratan Devi, a name the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card. The Library of Congress notes that the title is unverified, so readers should treat the name as the photographer's label rather than a confirmed identity. Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain around 1899, supplied press pictures to newspapers, and its glass negatives from the early twentieth century document the people and events that made the news. Glass plates were the standard medium for news work of that era, which explains the format and the fragile, detailed quality of the image.
