The record gives this picture only a title, Shore & Alexander, which appears to name two people or a firm. The notes say the wording comes from caption cards and has not been verified. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made from glass negatives produced by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news and feature photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s. Plates like this one, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were captioned for quick use by editors, so the collection often preserves portraits, street scenes, and events of the day. Without a date or description, the exact subject and circumstances remain unknown.
