The title places this glass negative in a 1908 Taft parade, with the Architects Division marching under the marshalship of H.V.B. Magonigle, an architect and a prominent figure in New York's professional circles. William Howard Taft was the Republican nominee for president that year, and campaign processions like this one brought trade and professional groups into the streets to show public support. The George Grantham Bain Collection, from the Bain News Service, documents much of New York's street life in these years. The title comes from the photographer's caption data, which has not been independently verified, so the exact route and date of the march remain unconfirmed.
