The record ties this glass negative to a portrait of Prince Heinrich of Prussia and Princess Victoria Margarete, though the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote without verification, so the identification should be treated as tentative. Heinrich, a naval officer and brother of Kaiser Wilhelm II, was a familiar figure in American newspapers after his 1902 visit to the United States, and the Bain agency, which supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, often pictured such visiting royals. The collection's glass plates capture the press photography of that era, when portraits like this one were quickly printed and circulated to readers.
