The only detail the record gives for this glass negative is its title, Alabama, which points to a state rather than a particular place, person, or event. That title was supplied by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sent news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and the record notes that the label is unverified. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working medium of press photography in those decades, and the Bain collection as a whole documents American public life of that era, from politics and sport to street scenes. Anyone hoping to pin down the exact subject would do well to look for a caption or a dated companion negative.
