A parlor furnished around an upright piano is the subject here, a domestic interior rendered on a glass negative and preserved in the George Grantham Bain Collection. The record does not name the room, the family, or the studio's exact location, so the scene has to be read from its furnishings. Bain News Service, the New York picture agency Bain founded around 1899, sold news and feature photographs to newspapers, and its glass-plate holdings span the early twentieth century. Interiors like this one show how middle-class households arranged their front rooms, with the piano often serving as the center of family music and social life.
