This glass negative shows men carrying a coffin from a church, a scene the Bain News Service recorded under the title "Botta funeral." The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption cards that have not been verified, so the church and the people involved remain unidentified. Bain News Service, the New York agency run by George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with pictures of the city's events in the early twentieth century, and funerals were a common subject. Glass negatives like this one were the standard medium of press photographers of the period, and the clothing and street details in such scenes help place them in their time.
