Crowds moving between rows of booths at the Westchester County Fair are the subject here, a detail that sets this view apart from scenes of city streets on the same board. The record gives no date, and its title comes from caption information written by the Bain News Service, so the exact year and the fairgrounds' location remain unconfirmed. Bain's firm supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and county fairs of that era drew large crowds for exhibits, produce, livestock, and vendors. Viewers can compare the dense groupings of people and the booth layouts with those of other fair photographs from the period.
