The title on this glass negative, "Virg. Valli," appears to be a shortened form of the name of Virginia Valli, an actress in American silent films. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified Bain News Service data, so the identification should be treated as tentative. Portraits like this were typically made for press distribution, and the Bain News Service, a New York agency, produced a large body of glass negatives that document the faces and public figures of the early twentieth century.
