The only identifying detail is the title, "War game WASHINGTON (?)," which the record marks as unverified, so the exact scene is uncertain. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded around 1899 that sold news pictures to newspapers. Bain's work from the 1910s often covered public events and the military buildup before the First World War, a period when the nation was preparing for entry into that conflict. Viewers should read the title as a clue rather than a settled fact.
