Women associated with the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union veterans' organization, are the subject here, shown at what the title calls "MAINE exercises." The Bain News Service notes that supplied the title are unverified, so the exact event is uncertain. The word most likely refers to the battleship Maine, which sank in Havana Harbor in 1898 and became a focus of memorial ceremonies in the years that followed. Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, made pictures like this one during that period of commemoration.
