The title names only a people, Armenians, and the Library of Congress notes that even this label is unverified, taken from caption cards kept with the glass negative. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its negatives were often made quickly for the day's stories, so a picture like this one reflects the immigrant communities and public events that drew press attention in that era. Without a verified date or location, its exact circumstances remain open to research.
