The title "McCormach & Guard" is the only identifying detail in this record, and the Library of Congress notes that it comes from unverified caption data, so the subject could be a business, a pair of people, or something else. The image is a glass negative, which Bain News Service photographers used in the early twentieth century, when the agency, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied news pictures to newspapers across the country. Because the record gives no date, the exact year and occasion are unknown, but the glass plate format and the agency's working methods place the picture in the decades before the 1920s, when fast news photography was still developing.
