This glass negative is titled "Shot Form of French 120 gun," which points to a mold or pattern for projectiles fired from a French 120 mm artillery piece, though the record does not confirm that reading. The title comes from caption cards and negative data supplied by the Bain News Service, and no reliable date is recorded, so the exact moment is uncertain. Bain's agency worked in New York in the early twentieth century, selling news and feature photographs to newspapers, and military and munitions subjects appeared often in its files. The subject is best read as recorded rather than fully verified.
