The title, "Pittsburgh soldier's good-by," points to a farewell scene in the city, though the caption is incomplete and the record gives no date. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs from about 1900 into the early 1920s. Its captions were often written quickly and sometimes contain errors, so the title should be read as the agency's label rather than a verified account. Its subject, a soldier parting from family or friends, reflects the leave-taking that accompanied military service in those decades.
