Here the rider is identified as the Crown Prince of Germany, mounted in full military uniform, which sets this glass negative apart from the other horse pictures in the Bain collection. The title comes from caption data the Bain News Service recorded, and that attribution has not been independently verified, so the exact date is unknown. Mounted portraits like this were a common way for European royalty and officers to project authority, tying the monarchy to a cavalry tradition that remained central to German military identity before 1914. George Grantham Bain, a New York photographer, built his news agency's archive of glass negatives in the early twentieth century.
