The title "Johnston, Brooklyn" comes from caption data that its source describes as unverified, so the subject is best read as a Brooklyn scene rather than a confirmed event or place. Bain News Service, the New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain, produced and sold images like this to newspapers and magazines, and its glass negatives from the early twentieth century record everyday city life in sharp detail. With no date given, clothing, vehicles and street details are the best clues to when the picture was made.
