Please elaborate?

I couldn't find any more information. It's one side of a stereographic photo from an unidentified photographer.

Would you mind sharing where you located it, if you have that information? My curiosity is piqued enough to do some digging on my day off.

Looks like they are playing wax cylinders.

So I'm lead to believe that is not accurate.

This photo is currently housed in the Walthers Collection, there (NSFW images on link) they attribute it as:

Unidentified photographer, [Stereoviews], ca. 1910–20

I'm going to put more stock in a world renowned gallery and experts research over a reverse Google image search.

Gotcha. Agreed. ~~Attempted to strikeout...~~
