This negative is identified only by the single word TENNESSEE, and its record gives no date, so the subject is known only from that title. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data the Bain News Service recorded on the negatives or caption cards. George Grantham Bain's New York agency supplied newspapers with news photographs from the early 1900s into the 1920s, so a picture labeled for Tennessee likely documents a statewide event, place, or person of that era. Glass plates like this one are fragile records of everyday news, and their captions often outlast the details needed to date them.
