The title points to a parade in which the marchers wore overalls, a costume choice that suggests a labor-related or civic demonstration, though the record does not say where or when it took place. This glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of work made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that circulated news photographs widely in the early twentieth century. Bain's staff recorded parades, strikes, and public events for newspapers, so pictures like this one preserve a sense of how ordinary citizens and workers presented themselves in public. The Library of Congress holds the negative, and its title comes from caption cards that remain unverified.
