A pair of Rothschild family members, identified in the caption as Baron Henry de Rothschild, James de Rothschild, and Mrs. J. de Rothschild, makes up the sitters of this glass negative. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that sold news and portrait images from the early 1900s into the 1920s, produced the negative, and the names come from its original caption cards, which the Library of Congress notes are unverified. The Rothschilds were a banking dynasty with branches in Paris, London, and Vienna, and their social appearances often drew press attention. Because the record gives no date, viewers should read the image as a snapshot of a prominent family in the agency's active years rather than a firmly dated event.
