elusive photograph

Hello, the wipedia page for Vlado Perlemuter says this "There is a photo in existence of a mock wedding party with Perlemuter dressed up as a miller, and Fauré as a mayor."

I guess by existence, it means it was mentioned in a letter somewhere, however I wonder if it does exist?

Thank you -- 18:33, 3 June 2022 2600:1700:7830:de40:c79:49d5:57c7:5095 (talk)

That sentence was inserted in 2016 in this odd edit (odd because of the editorializing, such as "he must have liked Perlemuter's playing because...") by a user who was then blocked; I don't know if that means an administrator would want to undo the edit, especially if we don't turn up a source here. 70.67.193.176 (talk) 19:05, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The photo can be found here. It is the second photo on the page. Cullen328 (talk) 19:10, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328: Do you think the site you linked above can be used as a source for the above mentioned information? Wouldn't this be an OR to say something exists and point at it? --CiaPan (talk) 14:02, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CiaPan, I am not saying that this photo should be mentioned on Wikipedia, only that I found some evidence. It seems trivial that someone attended a costume party. Cullen328 (talk) 16:37, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
