The name on this glass negative, violinist Fritz Kreisler, comes from Bain News Service data that the record marks as unverified. Kreisler, born in Vienna in 1875, became one of the most celebrated concert violinists of the early twentieth century through extensive touring in Europe and the United States. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, supplied news and celebrity photographs to newspapers and magazines, so images like this one show how performers were presented to the public in that period.
