Catalogued as "Prince of Wales in Japan," this glass negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency whose captions were often written on the negatives or caption cards and were not always checked. The Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, toured Asia in 1922, a trip that included Japan and drew heavy press coverage. Bain sold pictures like this one to newspapers, so the image likely reflects the newsworthy royal visits of that period. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion needs further research.
