Union Square in Manhattan is the setting here, and the snow turns a busy public space into a quiet, almost empty one. This glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work produced by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in New York from the early 1900s until the late 1910s. Bain's staff recorded city life in plain, documentary terms, so scenes like this one offer a useful look at streets, traffic and everyday routines of the period. The original date is not recorded, so the exact day of the snowfall remains unknown.
