Listed as a market in San Marcos, Mexico, this glass negative comes with a title drawn from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the exact location is worth reading with some caution. San Marcos is a common place name in Mexico, and the best-known event under that name is the annual Feria de San Marcos in Aguascalientes, though the record does not confirm which site is shown. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded in 1899, sold photographs to newspapers, so its images often capture street life, markets and crowds meant for quick publication. Glass plates like this one hold fine tonal detail that later film could lose.
