The record offers little beyond its title, which the cataloger devised by comparing it with a neighboring number, so the subject is an informed reading rather than a recorded caption. The title points to packaged goods prepared for shipment overseas, a common theme in early twentieth-century export trade. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the holdings of a New York news photography service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s. Its glass plate format, five by seven inches or smaller, was standard for that era, before flexible film became common.
