The caption on this glass negative names the funeral of Tim Sullivan, the Tammany Hall politician who built his power on New York's Lower East Side, and lists four surnames: McManus, Rosalski, Foley and Murphy. The record does not say who these men were or what role each played, and the Bain News Service's identifications were not always verified, so the names are best read as the photographer's notes. Bain's agency documented New York news throughout the 1900s and 1910s, when Tammany's ward organizations and their mourning rituals drew large crowds and press attention. A funeral of this kind offers a useful view of the political networks that gathered around a figure like Sullivan.
