Men holding Easter flowers in New York is the subject here, though the title comes from unverified caption data that Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its card, so the exact occasion and location remain uncertain. The image is a small glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service, a New York picture agency active in the early twentieth century, sold news and feature photographs to newspapers and magazines, and Easter pictures like this one were a staple of its seasonal coverage. The plates are valued for capturing everyday city life and holiday customs of that era.
