The record for this glass negative carries the title Lord & Taylor, with a tentative note about an award that has not been confirmed, so the occasion itself is unclear. Lord & Taylor was one of New York's oldest department stores, founded in 1826 and long associated with Fifth Avenue retailing. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds news pictures made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs of local events, people and businesses to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The store name is the most reliable clue here, since no date is documented.
