This photograph shows J. Montefiore Meyers being escorted to jail in New York, a scene the press photographers of the period often recorded when a case drew public attention. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service wrote on the negatives, which was not independently verified. George Grantham Bain founded the agency in New York around 1900, and its glass negatives document the city's courts, streets, and public life in the early twentieth century. Images like this one show how newspapers in that era turned legal proceedings into dramatic visual stories for readers.
