This glass negative is catalogued under the name Leopold of Bavaria, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service on the negatives or caption cards, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The sitter's name points to a member of the Bavarian royal house, several of whom held senior military posts in Germany during the First World War. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, made pictures like this for quick publication, so its prints often reflect the press demands of their day.
