The title, shortened to "Gers. being deported," is a caption the Bain News Service wrote on its negative or card, and the record gives no date, so the scene is best read against its likely setting. Bain sent news photographs to newspapers from New York, and this glass negative is one of many in the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. If the caption is accurate, the picture relates to the United States' treatment of German nationals during and after World War I, when enemy aliens faced internment, restrictions and, in some cases, removal. The abbreviated wording and missing date are worth keeping in mind when reading it.
