Below the picture:

Honorary President William Steinway long ago earned a place in his fellow countrymen’s heart. His jovial manner, which connects to his warm empathetic mind for all sorrow and misfortune, has won uncountable friends and many a person to whom he was generous gratefully sees him as their benefactor. He particularly earned especial recognition for his support of music. He most generously supports the art and has helped many a young person on the way to fame.
