Union Square, the Manhattan park at Broadway and Fourteenth Street, is the setting here, and the caption on the negative calls it the scene of anarchist bomb-throwing. That label comes from the Bain News Service's own unverified notes, so it reads as a description rather than a confirmed account of a specific attack. The square had long been a gathering place for labor meetings, socialist rallies and radical speakers, which made it a frequent subject for New York newspaper photographers. The glass negative belongs to the Bain service's large body of street views, and its interest lies as much in the square itself as in the event named in the title.
