The record names this view "Crowd at MAINE exercises," so the crowd, rather than the drill itself, is the subject. The title is unverified and undated, so the name "MAINE" is the best clue to the event, which may refer to a ship or a training site of that name. The negative is a glass plate from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that sold pictures to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Spectators gathered to watch military exercises were a common press subject then, and the crowd's dress and placement can reveal much about the period.
