This glass negative is titled "Prince Nicholas," though the record notes that the title came from Bain News Service data that has not been independently verified, so the sitter is not confirmed. Bain's agency, founded in New York in the early 1900s, supplied newspapers with news photographs, and its large 8 by 10 inch glass plates were the standard for sharp, detailed press work. The record gives no date, so the picture is best understood as a product of the agency's working period, when wire photos and dated caption cards moved quickly from the studio to the press. Because the identification rests on a caption rather than a firm source, viewers should treat the name as a lead to check against other records.
