Neither a date nor a verified caption accompanies this negative, so the visit it shows can't be pinned down from the record alone. The title points to the heir to the British throne, and the most likely occasion is Edward, Prince of Wales, touring the United States in 1919, when large crowds turned out wherever he went. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency active from about 1900 into the 1920s, made its pictures quickly for newspaper use, so its glass negatives often carry a candid, street-level feel. Treat the identification as a working attribution until a dated caption or another source confirms it.
