The negative shows Blanco handing over land to peons at a table set out in a field, a rural gathering that makes this one stand apart from the other plates on the board. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded on the negative or its card, and it has not been independently verified. George Grantham Bain ran the Bain News Service in New York from about 1900 into the 1920s, supplying newspapers with fast-moving press photographs on glass plates like this one. The exact date and place are not recorded.
