The only detail this glass negative offers is its title, "By plane," which the Library of Congress lists as unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service. The agency, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain, sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and glass negatives were its working medium. The title suggests air travel, which fits an era when airplanes were moving from exhibition flying toward mail routes and passenger service, and the picture reflects how the public was first learning to think about flying. Its exact date and subject remain uncertain.
