The title places this glass negative at a convention in Baltimore, a city that hosted several national party gatherings in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including the Democratic National Convention of 1912. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives without verification, so the specific event is uncertain. George Grantham Bain's agency sold photographs of news events, politicians and public gatherings to newspapers, which makes this plate a useful record of how such assemblies were documented in that period.
