Original – Austro-Hungarian operetta composer Franz Lehár.
Reason
There was, unfortunately, a period between the long exposure cameras and the faster cameras that allowed a bit less freezing in place when images were fast - but very grainy. As far as I can tell, this comes from that period. However, it's an expressive image, it's good for the period, and, frankly, there don't seem to be many photographs of him that are particularly good. This is probably the best.
