The record for this glass negative gives only the word ARIZONA as its title, and the Bain News Service that produced it marked that title as unverified, so the exact subject is uncertain. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that supplied pictures of news events, people and places to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and many of its negatives were filed under broad place names like this one. Arizona had only recently become a state in 1912, and images from that period often show mining towns, railroads, desert landscapes and the communities growing up around them. Glass negatives of this kind hold a great deal of fine detail, which is one reason researchers value collections like this one.
