Its title, "Watching for bulletins," points to people waiting outside Buckingham Palace for official word on a royal's health, a scene that drew large crowds whenever a member of the family fell ill. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, produced glass negatives like this one, which later passed to the Library of Congress. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified agency notes, but the scene reflects a long habit of following a sovereign's condition at the palace gates before newspapers and radio could spread news quickly.
