A visit by King Albert of Belgium to City Hall is the subject here, though the record gives no date and flags the title as unverified caption data. Albert I ruled Belgium from 1909 until his death in 1934 and became a widely admired figure after Germany invaded his country in 1914. The image is a 5 by 7 inch glass negative from the Bain News Service, a news photo agency that documented visiting dignitaries, city officials and public events in New York during the early twentieth century.
