Caught mid-action, this glass negative shows a German artillery battery, though its title comes from unverified Bain News Service data and no date is recorded. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain started around 1899 to supply newspapers with news photographs. Agency pictures like this were made to be reproduced quickly, so the image shows how distant military events reached American readers, and it rewards close looking at the guns and crews.
