Pennsylvania Avenue carried the inaugural procession between the Capitol and the White House, and this glass negative shows one of those parades, though its year is not recorded. The Bain News Service, the New York photo agency that George Grantham Bain founded, sold news pictures like this one to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The title comes from caption information the agency wrote on the negatives and has not been independently verified, so the specific inauguration remains uncertain. Glass plates were the standard medium for press photographers of the period, and they capture fine detail in street crowds and processional scenes.
