The caption names the sitter as a German general, von Scholtz, though the Bain News Service recorded that the name came from unverified data on the negative or its caption card. The glass negative is dated December 13, 1915, during the second winter of the First World War, when American newspapers regularly ran portraits of commanders from both sides. Bain's agency supplied such images to papers in New York and elsewhere, so pictures like this one often reached readers quickly and with little identifying detail. Anyone researching the subject should treat the name as a starting point and confirm it against other sources.
