This glass negative shows a departure captioned as Dumba, which most likely refers to Constantin Dumba, Austria-Hungary's ambassador to the United States. The Bain News Service, a wire photo agency based in New York, covered such news moments for newspapers, and the title on the caption card has not been independently verified. Dumba's time in Washington ended in late 1915, when he was recalled after British intercepts revealed his efforts to hinder war-related industry. The picture is a useful record of a diplomatic exit that drew wide press attention during the First World War.
