The caption gives the place as "Port Maillot," most likely a misspelling of the Porte Maillot, the gate and traffic junction on the western edge of Paris where the Avenue de la Grande Armée meets the Bois de Boulogne. The record lists no date, and the title comes from unverified notes written by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives record a busy trade in images of European cities and events, so this view is best read as a document of a street scene rather than a confirmed record of a particular occasion.
