The caption names "Count Konrad V. Zeppelin" and his wife, though the Library of Congress notes that this title comes from unverified Bain News Service data, so the identification should be treated with caution. The family name points to the Zeppelin line, whose members were tied to the German rigid airship that shaped early aviation and drew wide press attention in the United States. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, circulated portraits of notable visitors and public figures, and its glass negatives capture the celebrity culture of the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, so the picture's exact moment is uncertain.
