Titled as a New Year's scene at the Port Arthur Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown, this glass negative offers a glimpse of a dining establishment in New York's Chinese enclave. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the occasion itself remains uncertain. Even so, the picture documents a community that was often photographed from the outside.
