The record gives only the name "De Segurola," taken from the Bain News Service negative or caption card, and the catalogers note that the title is unverified. The name most likely refers to Andrés de Segurola, a Spanish-born bass who sang with the Metropolitan Opera in New York during the 1910s and 1920s and later appeared in Hollywood films. Bain's studio made many portraits of stage performers and public figures in those years, and glass plates like this one were the standard medium for newspaper pictures before flexible film and smaller cameras took over.
