The record gives this glass negative only one identifying detail: the title "Virg. Valli," which appears to be a shortened personal name. Bain News Service caption data is unverified, so the subject is not confirmed. If the name refers to the silent film actress Virginia Valli, the portrait would likely date from the 1910s or 1920s, when newspapers and studios relied heavily on such images. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds work from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the plate is best read as a record of that commercial press trade.
