Bridgeport, Connecticut, was home to major Remington Arms Company works, and the arms maker's presence shaped the city's workforce for decades. The record identifies this glass negative as showing Remington workers in Bridgeport, though that title comes from unverified notes made by the Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers. Bain's negatives were mostly made in the early 1900s and 1910s, so this one offers a glimpse of industrial labor from that period in a city built on heavy manufacturing.
