The record gives this glass negative the title "Political execution -- Mexico," a label the Bain News Service supplied and the Library of Congress has not verified, and it carries no date. The Bain agency sold news photographs to American newspapers from about 1899 to 1932, and the Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, was a period when summary executions were common. Because the date is unknown, the exact event and its setting remain open, but the picture stands as an example of how American readers encountered Mexican conflict through wire-era news photography.
