The only identifying detail this glass negative offers is its title, "Farrar," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or caption card without verification. The surname fits Geraldine Farrar, the American soprano and Metropolitan Opera star of the 1900s and 1910s, though the record does not confirm that identification. Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that sold pictures of public figures, performers, and news events to newspapers, and its glass plates capture the period before wire photos became routine.
