Few parades in the Bain collection pair the automobile so directly with fashion. The title comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or cards, but the record gives no date, so the specific event is unconfirmed. Bain's New York operation, active in the early 1900s, photographed parades, street events, and public spectacles for newspapers, and its glass plates capture the period when the car was shifting from novelty to everyday status. Viewers can compare the vehicles, the clothing, and the street settings for clues about how quickly that change unfolded.
