Beyond its title, the record for this glass negative offers few details, and it gives no date. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers with news photographs in the early twentieth century, produced images like this one, and its caption information was sometimes incomplete or wrong. The most likely context is the 1914 flight from Paris's outskirts as German forces advanced toward the city, but the title alone does not confirm that. Viewers should read the picture as a scene of displacement rather than a firmly identified event.
