Either way, the smaller glass sizes tended to fall closer to the end of the glass negative era, somewhere in the 1930's or so.

steve B and D. Bergin, thank you for the great feedback!
It is most definitely glass, a bit less than 1/16th inch thick. The emulsion has a silvery appearance at a certain angle. The image changes to positive at that angle as well. It came with what appears to be an original protective cardboard. Additional images attached.
Looking closer, I agree with it being a copy of another print.
Does anyone recognize the image outside of the two sources I found? Especially, a version containing Ruth's full torso?
