The name attached to this glass negative is that of Amelita Galli-Curci, the Italian-born coloratura soprano who became one of the best-known opera singers in America during the 1920s. The caption data is unverified and the record gives no date, so the identification should be treated as provisional. Bain News Service photographed many performers and public figures in New York for newspapers and magazines, so this plate likely served a press or publicity purpose. Its small glass format is typical of the agency's working files.
