The title, "ALUINA leaving N.Y.," points to a departure from New York, though the Library of Congress notes that the wording comes from unverified data written by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card. George Grantham Bain built his news photo service in New York in the early twentieth century, and his staff documented ships, travelers, and city life for newspapers that needed pictures the same day. Glass negatives like this one, which are 5 by 7 inches or smaller, preserve the sharp detail and tonal range that made such press work valuable to researchers today.
