The caption on this glass negative names a king and queen of Yugoslavia, a country that took the name Yugoslavia in 1929, when the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was renamed. The title comes from caption data recorded by the Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose negatives make up this collection, and that data is unverified, so the sitters are not confirmed. Because the plate is undated, it is best read as a glimpse of royal portraiture in the interwar years, when the Yugoslav monarchy was trying to build a shared national identity across several regions.
