A street vendor on 23rd Street offers Christmas toys to a group of boys, a glimpse of holiday shopping on a city sidewalk. The negative is dated December 7, 1908, though the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service, so the exact details of the scene remain uncertain. Bain's agency produced thousands of glass negatives of everyday New York, and its street views show how working-class families and children took part in the season's commerce outdoors.
