Prince Wolfgang of Hesse, a member of the German princely House of Hesse, is the named subject of this glass negative, though the record gives no date and the title comes from unverified caption data kept with the Bain News Service negatives. The Bain agency, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York in the early twentieth century, supplied news pictures to American newspapers, and European royalty was a steady source of such images. Its glass negatives record the agency's working practice of photographing people in the news for quick publication. Researchers should check the sitter's identity and the date against outside sources before relying on the caption.
