The record gives this view of a Berlin subway entrance, a subject that set the city's new underground railway apart from the streetcars and surface lines above it. The negative is a nitrate sheet from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that circulated pictures from around the world in the early twentieth century. The date is not recorded, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact year is uncertain. Berlin's first underground line opened in 1902, and its station entrances of that period are worth noticing for their ironwork and street-level design.
