A flag-draped podium rises above a dense crowd in this glass negative, with the bunting marking it as a formal ceremony. The record gives the title as "Inauguration of Cleveland," but the date is missing and the title comes from caption data that has not been verified, so it is unclear whether the scene shows Grover Cleveland's presidency or an inauguration in Cleveland, Ohio. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its plates are valued for documenting public ceremonies and crowds of that era.
