This glass negative is catalogued under the title "Tauber-Rigoletto," which likely refers to the tenor Richard Tauber in a production of Verdi's opera *Rigoletto*, where he sang the role of the Duke of Mantua. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified information written on the negatives or caption cards, so the identification and the date remain uncertain. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made up of glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that recorded performers, politicians and news events in the early twentieth century.
