This photograph captures Chef Maurice Hervieux at the microphone, delivering an announcement at the prestigious Hotel Commodore in New York City. Taken in 1930 by renowned photographer Byron Company, this silver gelatin print showcases Chef Hervieux's commanding presence as he sits confidently in his uniform, donning a classic chef's hat. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia for the golden age of radio broadcasting, with Chef Hervieux poised to address a captivated audience. His three-quarter length portrait highlights his dedication and passion for his craft, while also showcasing his French heritage through his elegant demeanor. As one of the leading chefs at Hotel Commodore during this era, Chef Hervieux was not only known for his culinary expertise but also for his charismatic personality.

With WABC Columbia as its backdrop, this image transports us back to a time when radio broadcasts were eagerly anticipated events that brought people together.
