Rudolph Ganz, the Swiss-born pianist and conductor, appears here with his wife, though the record does not name her. The title comes from caption cards and negatives that the Bain News Service supplied, and the catalog did not verify it, so the exact date and setting are unknown. Bain News Service was a New York press photography agency whose glass negatives, made in the early twentieth century, documented musicians, politicians, and newsworthy figures for newspapers. Ganz was a well-known concert performer of that era, so the portrait reflects the public profile musicians then cultivated through press photographs.
