The title names only "Farrar," which in this collection most likely refers to Geraldine Farrar, the Metropolitan Opera soprano who was among the most photographed singers of the 1910s. The full-length fur coat suggests a winter portrait, probably made for publicity. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold images like this to newspapers and magazines, and its glass negatives document the city's theater, society and celebrity culture in the early twentieth century. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact date and occasion are not recorded.
