This glass negative shows children planting in Thomas Jefferson Park, the East Harlem park on Manhattan's east side. The Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency run by George Grantham Bain in New York, produced pictures like this for newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, when urban parks often included gardening and play areas for crowded working-class neighborhoods. The record gives no exact date, and the title comes from caption information the agency wrote on the negative, so the exact occasion remains unconfirmed.
