The title names Princess Patricia's wedding, but the record leaves the date unverified, so the attribution should be read with some caution. Princess Patricia of Connaught, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, married the naval officer Alexander Ramsay in 1919, a union that drew wide press attention in postwar Britain. Bain News Service, a New York press agency, sold photographs of such events to American newspapers, so the picture reflects how royal ceremonies were packaged for readers across the Atlantic.
