Children on swings at Hamilton Fish Park on the Lower East Side are the subject of this glass negative, one of the many New York scenes that the George Grantham Bain Collection preserves. The park served a crowded tenement neighborhood where open space was scarce, and the playgrounds that cities built in the early twentieth century gave children a supervised place to play away from crowded streets. The Bain News Service, which made and sold news photographs, documented city life in this period. The title comes from unverified caption information, and the record gives no exact date.
