Toy, Ernest, 1882?- Australian violinist. He was born at Ballarat, Victoria, and at the early age of ten was sent to London, where he was enrolled as a student of the Royal Academy of Music, won several competitions, and was a gold medallist of the London Society of Arts. He was created a Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music, London at a very young age. He then toured England and the Continent and in 1899, at the age of seventeen, was the solo violinist of the Imperial Institute, Prince of Wales Club, and Exeter Hall. He toured New Zealand in 1899 and again performed in New Zealand in 1914. Source: natlib.govt.nz/records/22404916

The grease pencil crop marks visible on the photo weren't made by the photographer. They were made by Science Service before they made a copy of the photo for publication. During 1920s and 1930s, they sometimes airbrushed out backgrounds or cropped publicity photographs supplied to them by others, presumably to produce what they perceived as more suitable "head shots".
