The photograph was taken in 1938. That year, Karajan conducted the Berlin Philharmonic for the first time -landmark in his career.
As Karajan's fame grew, so did Wilhelm Furtwängler's dislike of "Little K". Recommended: "Taking Sides", a film by Istvan Szabo, adapted from Ronald Harwood's play.
According to Sviatoslav Richter, Karajan was more than content with publicity; he loved to pose etc.

The French call him "Air Bear." But then, that's what they call anyone named Herbert.
Give me Fricsay or Furtwangler any day!
