Geneva was the seat of the League of Nations after the First World War, and this glass negative is titled to show its headquarters. The League first worked from the Palais Wilson on the shore of Lake Geneva before the larger Palais des Nations was built. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, made and distributed images like this one for newspapers, so the negative reflects the press interest in the League's work in Geneva. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact building and moment should be checked before citing it.
