This glass negative pairs the tenor Enrico Caruso with a woman identified in the title only as Stella Carol, a pairing the Bain News Service recorded on its caption cards. Caruso was the Metropolitan Opera's leading tenor in the early 1900s and drew wide press attention in New York, so his presence in a Bain picture is typical of the agency's coverage of celebrities and public events. The collection's exact date for this image is not recorded, and the title comes from unverified agency data, so the identification of the second sitter should be checked. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium for news photographers of the period.
