The title names "King Geo and Queen Mary," which most likely refers to George V and Queen Mary of Britain, who reigned from 1910 to 1936, though the record itself marks that identification as unverified. The negative is one of the glass plates made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and it sits within the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion is unknown. Because the plate is a 5 by 7 inch or smaller glass negative, its surface and tonal range reflect the practical photography of that era.
