The record gives only the surname "Kreisler," and its note marks that title as unverified, so the sitter is most likely the Vienna-born violinist Fritz Kreisler, one of the best-known concert performers of the early twentieth century. Bain News Service, the New York agency that made and sold press photographs, supplied newspapers with pictures of performers, politicians and newsworthy figures, and its glass negatives show how such portraits circulated in the period. With no date recorded, the picture is best read as an example of celebrity portraiture from that era rather than a record of a specific event.
