Little is confirmed about this glass negative beyond its title, Prince Christian of Hesse, which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card. The catalog flags that identification as unverified, so the sitter's name is best treated as a starting point for research. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain that supplied newspapers with photographs of public figures, and portraits of European nobility appear often in its files. Glass negatives of this size were the working format of press photographers in the early twentieth century, valued for sharp detail when prints had to go out quickly.
