Adolph de Meyer photographed Grainger multiple times between 1903 and 1906—documenting the young musician’s maturation from late adolescence into adulthood. He lavished Grainger with expensive gifts and invited him to play at his many fashionable parties, paying him handsomely, an uncommon gesture among aristocrats. Emerging musicians were usually expected to play for no fee, with the exposure to potential patrons considered payment enough.
