The record names a Pittsburgh art committee, but the title comes from caption data written by the Bain News Service and has not been independently verified, and no date is recorded. Glass negatives like this one were the working medium of the Bain agency, a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early decades of the twentieth century. Pittsburgh, a steel center that was also building civic institutions and art collections in those years, drew steady attention from press photographers. Viewers who want to learn more should look closely at the caption data and the period's local records for clues about which committee is pictured.
