The record gives this glass negative the title "N.Y. troops (war game)," a caption that points to a New York militia or National Guard unit taking part in a staged mock battle. Such war games were a common sight in the early twentieth century, when units trained in field maneuvers and public demonstrations drew crowds. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, assembled from the Bain News Service, a Manhattan photo agency that supplied newspapers with news pictures from the 1900s through the 1910s. The date is not recorded, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the specific event remains uncertain.
