Here the subject is a musician rather than a place or event: Albert Salvi posed with his harp, in a portrait that fits the purpose of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of performers, politicians and public figures in the early twentieth century. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded, which the Library of Congress notes has not been independently verified, so the exact date and occasion remain uncertain. The glass negative shows how a concert instrumentalist was presented to the public in that era, with the formal arrangement and clear detail typical of the studio-style press work of the period.
