The catalog identifies this glass negative only as Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns, and that title is unverified, taken from notes the Bain News Service made on the negative or its caption card. Glass plates were the standard medium for press and studio photography in the early twentieth century, prized for their sharp detail. George Grantham Bain ran his news photo agency in New York, and its files now form a major part of the Library of Congress holdings for that era. With no firm date or confirmed identity for the sitter, the picture is best read as a record of the agency's everyday work and of the photographic methods of its time.
