Masked revelers dive for coins in this glass negative, which the Bain News Service recorded under the title "Thanksgiving Maskers scramble for pennies." The record gives no date, and the title is unverified, so the exact place and year remain unknown. The Bain agency, based in New York, supplied newspapers with news and feature pictures in the early 1900s, and costumed holiday revelry with coins tossed to crowds was a common subject of that era. The glass negative preserves the crowded, scrambling energy of the moment.
