The title names Admiral Coghlan and a parade marshal riding in an automobile, which sets this 1908 New York view apart from other street scenes. It is labeled a Taft parade, most likely tied to William Howard Taft's campaign for the presidency that year, when public processions were a common way to draw crowds. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, which documented city life and public events in the early twentieth century. The caption details were supplied by the news service and have not been independently verified.
