Rescuers clearing collapsed masonry in Austin are the subject of this glass negative, though the record gives no date, and the place name comes only from a title written by the Bain News Service that has not been independently verified. George Grantham Bain founded the New York news photo agency that bears his name, and it supplied pictures of fires, building failures and disasters to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Rubble-clearing scenes like this were a common news subject, and the negative's small plate size reflects the portable cameras press photographers used in the field.
