The title on this glass negative is simply "Kaiser on horse," a caption that the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives or caption cards and that the Library of Congress lists as unverified. The most likely subject is Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, a keen horseman who was often photographed on horseback before the First World War, when the Bain agency distributed news pictures to American newspapers. No date is recorded, so the exact occasion and the identity of the rider remain uncertain.
