The record identifies this negative only by its title, "ARIZ.," which points to the state of Arizona and nothing more specific about the scene. The caption data came from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that sold news and feature pictures to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, and its staff often labeled negatives with a place name alone. Glass plates like this one, sized 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the standard working medium of that period. Because the title is unverified and no date survives in the record, the picture is best read as a glimpse of how the agency documented the American Southwest during its active years, rather than as a documented event.
