This glass negative shows a conductor identified in its title as working on Broadway, the stretch of New York theater that drew the city's most ambitious musical productions. The record gives no date or sitter's name, and its title comes from unverified notes written by the Bain News Service, so the exact occasion is unknown. Bain's agency, founded in New York in the early 1900s, sold news photographs of performers, politicians and public events to newspapers, and its glass negatives from that period are often the main record of those subjects. Viewers may notice the formal posing and the stage-era styling typical of its work.
