The only identifying detail in this record is the title "Lamont," which the Library of Congress flags as unverified data taken from the negative or its caption card, so the subject could be a person, a town or a place with that name. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied images of news events and notable people to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Negatives like this were usually made quickly for publication, so their records tend to hold a short caption rather than a full description. Anyone trying to pin down the scene would do best to check the caption card and nearby negatives from the same batch.
