Gen. Diaz departs is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, whose photographers worked for the New York press in the early twentieth century. The subject is Gen. Diaz, who appears to be leaving a place, though the record gives no date and no location, so the exact occasion is unconfirmed. The title comes from unverified caption data, so it is worth treating the identification with some caution. Bain's agency shot thousands of news pictures of public figures, parades and arrivals, and its glass plates are valued today as a record of how those events were pictured before wire photography became routine.
