A Goodyear balloon, with the company's name on its envelope, is the subject of this glass negative from the Bain News Service. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, founded in Akron, Ohio, in 1898, became closely linked with lighter-than-air craft, and its blimps were a familiar sight over American cities and sporting events for decades. The Bain News Service, a New York agency, supplied news pictures to newspapers, so the image reflects the public interest in aviation of its era. The record gives no date, and the title is flagged as unverified, so the exact occasion remains uncertain.
