Only a name and a single word, "Dressau" and "Cards," identify this glass negative, and the Library of Congress notes that even these come from caption cards and have not been verified. The record gives no date or location, so the subject is best understood through its source. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds the files of the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives, often paired with paper caption cards like these, form a major visual record of American public life from that period.
