pennylrichardsca: Thanks for finding out the names of the children here. We'll include this next time we update.

says 6/27/13 reversed along left side, but this is obviously lifted from somebody else. Might be a copyright date faded out bottom right

rjones0856: These are the four sons of William, Crown Prince of Germany en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William,_German_Crown_Prince The youngest son was born Dec. 19, 1911.

OK. But I doubt that Bain News Service added a caption in German to their photos. It looks like a picture of another picture, probably a postcard.

rjones0856: The Bain News Service did purchase images from other commercial agencies and then reproduced those images for distribution. This may be one of those cases. A description of the Bain Collection, which mentions this fact, can be found here.

I hope I didn't give the impression I was shocked or upset by this. I merely meant that the picture was likely to be older than the date visible on the negative. Just for the record, by the way, I think this photo series is absolutely wonderful. It's like getting to go to a new museum exhibit every Monday or so.
