A dead man lying in Union Square is the subject here, according to a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card. The title itself is unverified, so the identity of the man and the cause of his death cannot be confirmed from the record alone. Union Square was a common site for labor rallies and radical demonstrations in New York in the early 1900s, and news photographers like Bain's staff often documented such clashes for newspapers. The glass negative, dated 3/28/08 in the record, is a useful reminder of how press images of street unrest were made and circulated.
