This glass negative is catalogued under the single word "Kreisler," and the record notes that the title comes from unverified caption data supplied by the Bain News Service. The name most likely points to Fritz Kreisler, the Vienna-born violinist who became one of the best-known concert performers of the early twentieth century and toured America widely. Bain's studio made portraits of performers, politicians and public figures for newspapers and magazines, so the image likely served as a press portrait. Because the record gives no date, the picture is best read as a document of that period's celebrity photography.
