The record identifies this glass negative as a portrait of the Crown Prince of Germany, though the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that sent pictures of current events to newspapers from about 1899 to 1932, and its large collection of glass negatives is now held by the Library of Congress. Crown Prince Wilhelm, heir to the German throne, drew steady press attention during the First World War, when Bain's staff produced many portraits of European royalty and military leaders for American readers. Because the date is not recorded, the exact occasion remains uncertain.
