Paris is the setting, and the picture records a daily examination of animals under treatment at a Paris society devoted to animal relief. Its caption comes from data that the Library of Congress lists as unverified, and no date is given, so the exact year is unknown. The photograph belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain News Service, a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain, supplied news pictures to newspapers, and its glass negatives document many events and places from the early twentieth century. Animal welfare societies in Paris ran clinics and shelters during that period, so the scene offers a glimpse of routine veterinary care as it was practiced then.
