The title places this glass negative before a Danish royal palace in 1920, though the record does not say which palace or what was happening outside it. Copenhagen's Amalienborg, the royal family's city residence, is a likely candidate, but the title is unverified and the caption should be read with that in mind. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, built from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass plates record the everyday look of street life and public events in that period, and this one shows the kind of wire-service picture that reached American readers from abroad.
