Violinist Fritz Kreisler appears here with his wife, Harriet, in a portrait from the Bain News Service files. Born in Vienna, Kreisler became one of the most celebrated violinists of the early twentieth century and toured the United States repeatedly, which made him a natural subject for the agency's New York photographers. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified information the agency wrote on its negatives or caption cards, so the identification is worth reading with that in mind. Bain's glass negatives like this one offer a useful view of the celebrity portraiture that newspapers of the period depended on.
