Robert Guggenheim, a member of the wealthy mining family, is named in this 1908 New York view of an Engineer Division marching in a parade connected to William Howard Taft, the Republican presidential candidate that year. Parades like this were a common way for campaigns and organizations to draw crowds and press attention. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that sold pictures of current events to newspapers. The caption details were recorded without independent verification, so the identities and unit are best read as the original notes.
