The record gives this one little beyond its title, "27th Parade," which points to a march by the 27th, most likely a New York National Guard regiment, since the 27th Division's New York units were a frequent subject in the period's city parades. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that worked in New York from the early 1900s and sold pictures to newspapers and magazines. Those negatives were often captioned quickly, so the title is unverified and worth treating with some caution. The plates themselves preserve the look of street processions of that era, when regiments marched through the city before large crowds.
