A Boston archery tournament is the subject of this glass negative, one of the newswire images made by the Bain News Service. Bain's New York agency supplied photographs of current events to newspapers in the early decades of the twentieth century, and its negatives now form part of the Library of Congress collection. Archery drew a devoted following in the United States during that period, with clubs and national competitions attracting both competitors and spectators. The record gives no date for the event, so the occasion is best understood through the sport's popularity in that era rather than a specific day.
