This glass negative is catalogued under the title "Erno Dohnanyi and wife," a name the Bain News Service recorded on its caption cards, though the Library of Congress notes that the identification has not been verified. Ernő Dohnányi was a Hungarian pianist, composer, and conductor whose concert tours in the United States drew wide press attention in the early twentieth century. The Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency active in New York from about 1900 to the 1920s, supplied newspapers with portraits of visiting artists and public figures like him. The record gives no date, so the sitting itself is best understood within that busy period of celebrity and touring photography.
