A glass negative from the Bain collection, the image is credited in its title to the Hartford, Connecticut, firm Smith and Co., Photo., with P.F. Beardsley named alongside. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo service in New York in 1899, and his negatives and caption cards passed through its files over the following decades, so the record's title reflects that later cataloging. The record gives no date, and the title is marked as unverified, so the exact subject and year are uncertain. Hartford was a major insurance and manufacturing city in this period, and studio work from the era often documents local buildings, streets and people.
