Two princesses and a prince of the Bavarian royal family are named in this record, though the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote, and the record flags the identifications as unverified. The Bain agency, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied newspapers and magazines with news photographs from the 1900s through the 1910s, often shipping them quickly across the Atlantic. Its glass negatives, like this one, preserve the working images of that transatlantic press trade. Because no date is recorded, the exact occasion is uncertain, but European royal portraits of this kind were typically made for newspaper readers curious about court life.
