This glass negative records a carriage ride with Richard Croker, the longtime boss of Tammany Hall, and Mayor George B. McClellan, identified in the caption as "Mayor McClellan." Its record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service supplied and that has not been independently verified, so the exact occasion is unknown. The pairing is worth noticing, since Tammany's influence over New York City politics was at its height in these years and a Tammany leader appearing with a sitting mayor in public was a notable image of city government.
