This glass negative is titled "Harding Memorial - Copenhagen," but the record notes that the title comes from unverified Bain News Service data, so the location and subject should be read with caution. The name points to Warren G. Harding, the 29th president, whose sudden death in August 1923 prompted memorials across the United States and abroad. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photography service that supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures and events in the early twentieth century. Its undated glass plate is a useful reminder of how quickly such images moved from the darkroom to the press.
