Flags and bunting line Fifth Avenue in this 1916 view of New York's best-known boulevard, dressed for a parade. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a news photography service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record does not name the procession, but the scene shows how the city decorated its main thoroughfare for public occasions in the years before the United States entered the First World War.
