Igor Stravinsky appears at a piano alongside a second man, identified in the record only as "Fulwaagder," a name the Bain News Service supplied without verification. Stravinsky, the Russian-born composer of *The Rite of Spring*, was also an accomplished pianist, so a keyboard setting suits him. The Bain News Service was a photo agency that sold pictures of public figures to newspapers, and its glass negatives capture the steady flow of performers and visitors in early twentieth-century New York. The tentative caption is worth noting, since agency labels were often written in haste.
