A parade of a New York employee group is the subject named on this glass negative, though the record gives no date and notes that the title is unverified. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service ran in New York from the late 1890s into the 1930s, photographing city news and events, and its glass negatives are a record of street life in that period. Parades of workers and organizations were a common subject in that era, so the image offers a useful glimpse of how such events looked to press photographers.
