Little is recorded about this glass negative beyond its title, Britannia Football Team, Germany, and that title comes from unverified data noted by the Bain News Service. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers and magazines from about 1900 to 1915. Association football was spreading through German cities in those years, and British-style names such as Britannia were fairly common among clubs, so the image offers a glimpse of sport's growth across Europe. Its exact date and the identities of the players are not known from the record.
