This negative is titled *Brighton Beach*, though the record notes that the title is unverified and comes from caption cards or negative sleeves kept by the Bain News Service. The collection is mostly New York City material, so the name most likely refers to the Brighton Beach resort on the Brooklyn shore, a seaside destination that drew crowds by rail and trolley in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, but the glass negative format fits the years when the news service was active, roughly the 1900s through the 1920s.
