This glass negative is titled "N.Y. employee's parade," which points to a procession of workers from a New York employer, though the record does not name the company, the route, or the year. The image comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Employee parades of that era were often staged by firms, unions, or civic groups to show pride in their workforce, and their scale and banners often revealed how organized labor and business presented themselves in public. Because the title comes from unverified caption data, viewers should treat the specifics as provisional.
