Edith Mason is named here as the sitter, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified caption data, so the identification rests on the original Bain News Service cards. Mason was an American soprano who sang leading roles with major opera companies in the early twentieth century. Bain News Service, a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain, photographed theater, opera and society figures for newspaper and magazine use, and its glass negatives capture the studio and press portrait style of that era. The record gives no date, so the exact year of the sitting is unknown.
