    Looks like part of the set taken at tenor Luca Botta's funeral on Oct. 3, 1917. Giulio Gatti-Casazza ( 1869 – 1940) was general manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City (1908-1935).

    Alfred Frederick Seligsberg (1869-1933) was legal counsel to the Met. Picasso drew him, with Diaghilev, in 1917:
