Nothing in the record ties this negative to a specific place or day, so the title, "Armenian women & children," is the only clue, and the Bain News Service caption cards that supplied it are unverified. The agency, which operated in New York from the early 1900s, sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines. Images of this kind most often circulated around World War I, when the displacement of Armenian families in the Ottoman Empire drew wide attention in the American press and in relief campaigns. Viewers should read the subject as a general category rather than a documented event, and the glass negative is worth noting as a fragile, pre-film record of how the agency worked.
