This glass negative carries the title "In camp, US Army," a label the Bain News Service wrote on its caption cards. The record gives no date or location, and the title is unverified, so the scene itself is the main evidence. George Grantham Bain founded the New York agency around 1899 to sell news photographs to newspapers, and its large holdings, now at the Library of Congress, cover the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium for press photographers until roughly the 1920s, so the image shows how military life was recorded in that era.
