"Ignacy Jan Paderewski, GBE (Polish: [iɡˈnat͡sɨ ˈjan padɛˈrɛfskʲi]; 18 November [O.S. 6 November] 1860 – 29 June 1941) was a Polish pianist and composer, politician, and spokesman for Polish independence.[1] He was a favorite of concert audiences around the globe. His musical fame opened access to diplomacy and the media. Paderewski played an important role in meeting with President Woodrow Wilson and obtaining the explicit inclusion of independent Poland as point 13 in Wilson's peace terms in 1918, called the Fourteen Points.[2] He was the Prime Minister of Poland and also Poland's foreign minister in 1919, and represented Poland at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. He served ten months as Prime Minister, and soon thereafter left Poland, never to return.[3]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignacy_Jan_Paderewski

He sold bonds in City Hall Park on April 24, 1918 as part of "Polish Day" for the Third Liberty Loan campaign. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D04EEDB1031E0...

While on tour in the United States, Paderewski fell ill on June 27, 1941. He died of pneumonia in New York City two days later. His remains were temporary interred within the USS Maine Mast Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C. After the fall of communism, his body was brought to Warsaw in 1992 and permanently laid to rest in St. John's Archcathedral. Two markers remain at Arlington National Cemetery marking the temporary repose of Paderewski's body. One is outside the memorial, near the stairs leading up to the memorial plaza. The other is inside the memorial, where his remains once lay. flic.kr/p/e3Umr8

Thanks Art Siegel, for the link to the information about the Third Liberty Loan campaign. Given the presence of other photos from that campaign in this range of negatives, it seems likely that is the context. We'll add information to the description.
