The title names a "Princess Joachim," a form that usually refers to a German royal wife identified through her husband, though the record notes the identification is unverified and gives no date. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, made the negative, and its glass plates often captured society figures, politicians and public events of the period. Because the caption was added by the agency and not confirmed, the sitter's identity is best treated as a working attribution. Viewers interested in the image should check the title against the agency's caption cards and other records from the same era.
