The record gives the sitter as Princess Alexander of Teck, a title that most likely refers to Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, who took it after her 1904 marriage to Prince Alexander of Teck, a grandson of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. The catalog notes that the name comes from unverified caption data, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made up of glass plates from the Bain News Service, a Washington, D.C., agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures in the early twentieth century.
