A dog named Bernhardt, whose caption describes him as a Russian newcomer now in New York, is the subject here, pictured as a radio fan around 1922. The caption tags point to dogs, radio, and Russians in the United States, so the photo was likely a light human-interest piece. Broadcasting was new and growing fast that year, and crowds of families and novelty seekers were gathering around early receivers, which made a dog pictured listening in especially appealing. The picture was copyrighted by Underwood & Underwood, a New York photography firm that supplied images to newspapers.
