This glass negative is catalogued under the name Princess Helen of Greece, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified data written by the Bain News Service on the negatives or caption cards, so the identification should be treated with some caution. The Greek princess Helen (also spelled Elena) was a member of the Greek royal family who married into the Romanian royal house in 1921, a match that drew considerable press attention in the years after World War I. Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, sold news photographs of such figures to newspapers and magazines, and its undated glass negatives are valued today as a record of the people and events that made the news in that era.
