C.L. Wagner's is the title given to this glass negative, but the caption does not say whether it names a shop, a restaurant, or a person, and no date is recorded. The plate comes from the Bain News Service, the New York picture agency George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply news photographs to newspapers. Its staff often worked quickly, and the small glass plates they exposed were made for reproduction in print. Viewers interested in the period can place the picture within the agency's wider output of city scenes and everyday commerce.
