The title places this glass negative at the wedding of Manuel II, Portugal's last king, who was deposed during the 1910 revolution and spent his exile in England. His 1913 marriage to Augusta Victoria of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen drew wide press attention, and the Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news photographs, was among the outlets that circulated such images. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the identity of the bride and the exact occasion should be checked against other sources.
