The record identifies the subject as Prince Axel, a member of the Danish royal family, but the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote and that have not been independently verified, and no date is recorded. This is a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain's company supplied news photographs to newspapers and magazines in New York and beyond, mainly from the early 1900s through the 1920s, so the picture most likely belongs to that period of rapid growth in press photography. Viewers should treat the identification as the photographer's own label, not a confirmed fact.
