Photographer's A King, wonder if it's one of my lot

Suppose the syllable "king" would transliterate well into Chinese, as it's a syllable that sounds like it would fit well in the Chinese language.
Or would he have just translated the word king into the Chinese word for king, if there is one (they had emperors, but did they have kings)?
Any guesses, anybody?
Cheers,
China
BTW Mudge, no luck finding the photographer for dating, sorry
