Here, a group of Chinese women takes part in a Fourth of July parade in New York, a detail that sets this view apart from the many parade pictures in the Bain News Service files. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the agency wrote on the negative, so the exact event and year remain unconfirmed. George Grantham Bain founded the agency in New York in the early 1900s to supply newspapers with news photographs, and its glass negatives capture the city's street life of that era. Women of Chinese descent were still a small presence in public civic events at the time, which makes a picture like this worth a closer look.
