The caption on this glass negative names a funeral car in London for General William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, and its title comes from the Bain News Service's own notes, which are unverified. Booth died in London in August 1912, and his funeral that month drew large crowds and a public procession. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news pictures, covered such events, so the image records a moment of public mourning for a figure known around the world. The record gives no date, so the timing rests on the general history of Booth's death.
