What sets this negative apart is its title, which points to a parade of World War I veterans, though the record gives no date and the title is unverified. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Veterans' parades were a common sight in American cities after the war, when returning soldiers, sailors and marines were honored with bands, flags and crowds lining the streets. Glass negatives like this one were the standard tool for press photographers recording such events at the time.
