Shoppers crowd Union Square in Manhattan, a longtime gathering place for street markets, and this glass negative records them around Easter. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, which supplied news photographs to newspapers and magazines in New York in the early twentieth century. Bain's photographers covered street life, holidays and commerce, so pictures like this one preserve everyday city crowds from that era. The date is not recorded, so the scene is best read as a typical spring holiday shopping day in the city.
