A young girl named Aimee Rochester appears in a Scottish costume, with an American flag set alongside her, a pairing that suggests a patriotic outfit worn for a parade, pageant, or similar public occasion. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers from about 1899 into the 1920s. The name and title come from information written on the negative or its caption cards and have not been independently verified, so the event and date remain uncertain. The mix of tartan and flag still offers a view of how families of Scottish descent and American identity could be shown together in public.
