This glass negative is one of the few Bain News Service plates in the collection tied to a named aristocrat, here recorded as Count Brockdorff-Rantzau. The record notes that the title is unverified, so the identification should be read with that caveat. The likely reference is Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau, the German diplomat who led his country's delegation at the Versailles peace talks in 1919. George Grantham Bain's New York agency supplied news photographs like this one to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its negatives record many of the people who made headlines then.
