Identified in the record as Crown Prince Wilhelm, this glass negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The sitter was the eldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II and heir to the German throne, a figure often in the foreign news before and during the First World War, when he commanded a German army in the field. The record gives no date, and the name comes from caption cards that have not been verified, so it is worth checking before relying on it.
