    This glass negative, created in 1911, captures a candid moment between Miss M. Kennedy and her small Pomeranian dog, Buttercup. The Pomeranian breed, known for its lively disposition and fluffy coat, was gaining popularity among the upper-class society of the time. Miss M. Kennedy represents the affluent lifestyle of the early 20th century, where owning a small breed dog was often seen as a status symbol. The image reflects both the fashion of the era, likely showcasing elaborate clothing and trends in pet ownership.

Glass negatives allowed for high-quality images, and the Bain News Service was well-known for documenting notable figures and everyday life. This specific photo provides insight into social customs, portraiture, and the significance of pets within the homes of well-to-do families during this period in American history.

    Understanding the context of this image offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of individuals in the early 20th century, as well as the evolving relationship between humans and their pets, which continues to be relevant today. The photograph stands as a testament to the eras cultural trends and the increasing visibility of small breeds like Pomeranians in popular society.
