Here the sitter is named as Prince Oscar of Germany, a son of Kaiser Wilhelm II, shown with family members, though the record notes that this title is unverified. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Royal portraits like this one were popular with American papers of the period, offering a glimpse of how the German imperial family was presented to readers across the Atlantic.
