The title marks this as panorama No. 3 of the Boston ball grounds, a September 28, 1912 view that suggests a set of overlapping exposures meant to capture a wide sweep of the park. Fenway Park had opened that April as the home of the Boston Red Sox, so the image records a ballpark in its first season. The photograph is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photo agency whose glass negatives document early twentieth-century events and places. The title comes from data the agency recorded on the negatives or caption cards, which were not always checked, so details should be read with that in mind.
