Flower vendors line the paths of Union Square in Manhattan in this view, taken on what the title identifies as Easter Sunday. The Bain News Service, which supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s, made glass negatives like this one for fast, large-scale use. The record dates it to April 18, 1908, but that date and the title come from unverified caption data, so the exact day is worth checking. The scene shows a common New York custom of buying blossoms and potted plants for the holiday.
