The record gives only the name "Kreisler," which most likely refers to the Austrian-born violinist Fritz Kreisler, though the title is unverified and the sitter is not confirmed. Kreisler became one of the most celebrated concert performers of the early twentieth century, touring the United States often and drawing large audiences to his recitals. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs to newspapers, made glass negatives like this one for press use, so the portrait would have circulated as a news image of a public figure.
