A Christmas peddler working the streets of New York City is the subject here, with a caption card dating the scene to December 19, 1910. Seasonal vendors like this were a familiar sight in the early twentieth century, when many holiday shoppers bought greenery, toys, and small gifts from carts and sidewalk stands. The photograph belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a large body of news and street pictures from New York now held by the Library of Congress. The caption details were transcribed from older cards and have not been independently verified, so the card's information is the best guide to the scene.
