Few details survive for this view of a vegetable market in Hamburg, and the record gives no date, so the title comes from notes the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card. The Bain agency was a New York photo news business active in the early 20th century, supplying newspapers with pictures of people, streets and events at home and abroad. Market scenes like this one, with produce set out on stalls for local shoppers, show everyday city life in Germany of that era, a subject that editors often wanted for their readers.
