This glass negative shows a manicure taking place in Central Park, with a man identified in the title as Snyder attending to a woman called Hattie. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information written by the Bain News Service, so the names and the scene itself have not been independently confirmed. The Bain agency was a New York photo service that sold pictures to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, and its staged scenes of everyday leisure were often made to illustrate stories or attract buyers. Glass plates of this size were the standard working format of that era.
