The record gives no town, date, or photographer beyond the Bain News Service, the New York agency whose negatives make up the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. The subject is a Fourth of July parade, a civic tradition that filled American streets each summer with marching bands, flag-bearing groups, and decorated vehicles. The small glass negative, about 5 by 7 inches or smaller, reflects the format the agency used for its news work in the early twentieth century, when photographs were sent to newspapers quickly. Viewers interested in the period may find the crowd and street details especially revealing of local dress and the look of the town.
