Two figures are named here: Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, with his wife, and Countess Baillet de Latour. The record gives no date, and the Bain News Service labeled the title as unverified, so the identification of the pair should be treated with some caution. Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated with his wife in Sarajevo in June 1914, an event that helped set off the First World War. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, sent glass negatives like this one to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, so the image likely reflects the wider appetite for pictures of European royalty before the war.
