The record gives only the surname Martinelli, and the notes flag it as unverified, so the sitter's full identity and the occasion of the photograph are uncertain. The name is often linked to Giovanni Martinelli, the Italian-born tenor who sang leading roles at the Metropolitan Opera in New York for decades, but this record does not confirm that connection. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied press photographs from about 1900 to 1932, largely on glass plate negatives like this one.
