A French officer's burial is the subject of this glass negative, though the record offers little beyond that title, which the Bain News Service noted from caption information and which has not been verified. Bain was a New York press photo agency, and its glass plates from the early twentieth century typically documented news events, public figures and wartime scenes for newspapers and magazines. The missing date leaves the occasion uncertain, but the subject points to a military funeral, a ceremony that often drew crowds, officers in formal dress and honor guards. Viewers should treat the identification as a starting point rather than settled fact.
