I really like this picture because I feel each man has a different facial expression. I think this really makes up the picture and defines each man.

I believe that this photo could be very useful, as it depicts the old fashioned military attire. I find that it is unfortunate that where this picture was taken is not provided.

This picture shows true individuality. As an ambassador stands among many men in their military uniforms, a sharp distinction is detected. It is interesting to see how others in the picture appear to be looking up to the civilian dressed man. Is it envy of not having to be in military clothing?

This appears to be Count Von Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the United States (left) and German Rear Admiral [Hubert] von Rebeur-Paschwitz [note spelling] (right), on the occasion of the visit of the Kaiser at Kiel's fleet of three ships to New York City in June, 1912.
Rear Admiral von Rebeur-Paschwitz was Germany's first Naval Attaché at Washington, and represented his fleet both in the United States and Cuba during the Spanish-American War. [1]
