This glass negative is catalogued under the title "Easton as 'Rosenkavalier,'" which points to a performer in a costume for Richard Strauss's opera *Der Rosenkavalier*, first staged in Dresden in 1911. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified notes made by the Bain News Service, a New York press photo agency that sold images to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass plates were a common format for news and theatrical portraits of that era. Such studio images often show how singers and actors were presented to the public, with costume, pose, and lighting chosen to suggest the character.
