The sitter, identified by the caption as the French tenor Lucien Muratore, is shown draped in an American flag, a patriotic pose that suggests a singer making a public gesture toward the country where he had found audiences. Muratore performed in American opera houses in the 1910s, and press photographers of that era often staged portraits like this for newspaper use. The title comes from caption information recorded by the Bain News Service, which was not always verified, so the identity and the occasion behind the picture are worth reading with that in mind.
