This glass negative is captioned as a Jewish New Year scene before a synagogue, a reference to Rosh Hashanah, the autumn holiday that opens the High Holy Days. The title comes from unverified notes that Bain News Service made on the negatives or caption cards, so the exact place and date remain uncertain. Bain's New York agency supplied newspapers with photographs from about 1900 through the 1920s, and its plates record the city's neighborhoods and public life. Synagogue services and the sounding of the shofar mark the day, which makes the picture a glimpse of how the holiday was observed.
