This glass negative is catalogued under the name Galli-Curci, a reference to Amelita Galli-Curci, the Italian-born coloratura soprano who became one of the most celebrated singers in the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. Her recordings and concert tours made her a household name, and press photographers often sought out such figures. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, so the exact occasion is unconfirmed. Bain's New York staff produced news pictures of performers, public figures and events for newspapers, and the glass plate format of this collection reflects the agency's working methods in that era.
