The title "Pie Biters on New York" is the detail that sets this negative apart, though the Bain News Service's own label is unverified and the record gives no date or setting. The glass plate is a 5 by 7 inch or smaller negative, the working format of many press photographers in the early twentieth century. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo service in New York around 1899, and his archive, now at the Library of Congress, captures the city's streets, events and daily life during those decades. Viewers should treat the title as a starting point for research rather than a confirmed description of the scene.
