Christmas toys in this picture are shown as a group of objects laid out for the holiday, though the record gives no date and no clear identification of the store, family or setting. It is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, the archive of the Bain News Service, a Washington and New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s. Bain's work often captured everyday commercial and seasonal scenes, and holiday merchandise was a popular subject for newspaper features of that era. The title comes from unverified caption information, so the exact context is best read with caution.
