Seattle is the only place named in this picture's record, and the title, "Morning drill," suggests a group going through an early-day routine, though the record does not say who was drilling. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and its title comes from caption data the agency wrote on the negative or its card, which has not been independently verified. Viewers should treat the scene as a documented moment from an unnamed exercise rather than a confirmed event.
