This glass negative shows a Goodyear dirigible, the kind of lighter-than-air craft the company used for advertising and publicity flights in the years between the world wars. Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, made and distributed the image, and it later entered the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain's photographers covered news events, public spectacles and new technology, so the picture offers a useful view of how the public first encountered airships as a common sight in the sky.
