What sets this negative apart is that it names three people, G. Seres, Th. Ellegaard and C. Moretti, rather than a place or event. The record gives no date or description of the scene, and the title comes from caption information that cataloguers could not verify. It came from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events and notable people in the early twentieth century, and glass plates like this one were the standard for that work, which helps explain how quickly such images reached print.
