This glass negative bears the name Gogorza, which the Library of Congress lists as unverified and taken from Bain News Service caption cards. The name most likely refers to Emilio de Gogorza, a Spanish-born American baritone who was a popular concert singer and recording artist in New York in the early twentieth century. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold images of theater people, public figures and events to newspapers, so portraits like this one reflect the press demand for performers' pictures of that period. The record gives no date, so the exact year of the sitting is unknown.
