The caption names actor Lou Tellegen and soprano Geraldine Farrar, and the date, February 7, 1916, places the picture in the early years of their public partnership. Farrar was a leading Metropolitan Opera singer who had also become one of the best-known screen actresses of the era, while Tellegen worked on both stage and screen. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs to newspapers, made the glass negative, so the image reflects the wartime appetite for celebrity portraits. The caption is marked as unverified, so the identification and date are best read as the agency's own record.
