  www.schubertiademusic.com/details/multiple_catalogs:yes/d.... has a picture that looks to be taken on the same occasion that is dated March 13, 1917 and said to be at Carnegie Hall. But another similar photo (signed), at www.npr.org/blogs/deceptivecadence/2011/05/05/135996811/1..., is dated 1904!

  The March 1917 date certainly seems reasonable, since they performed together at Carnegie Hall that week. See NYT of 3/11/1917 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D00E2DE143AE433A...

  Also, in 1904, 3 of the 4 would not yet have been 30, which doesn't seem the case in this photo.
