The only identifying detail here is the surname Kubelik, which the record says was taken from unverified information on the negative or its caption card. The name most likely refers to Jan Kubelík, the Czech violinist who drew large audiences on concert tours of Europe and America in the early twentieth century. The George Grantham Bain Collection came from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that photographed performers, politicians and other newsworthy people for newspapers. Its glass negatives, typically 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the working files of that fast-moving press trade.
