This glass negative is catalogued under the name Gen. von Seeckt, though the Library of Congress notes that the identification comes from unverified Bain News Service caption cards, and no date is recorded. The name points to Hans von Seeckt, who commanded the German Reichswehr from 1920 to 1926 and shaped it into a small, highly trained professional army within the limits set by the Treaty of Versailles. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied images of prominent figures to newspapers, so the plate likely reflects the period's interest in German military leaders. Researchers should treat the name and date as leads to confirm against other sources.
