The title, "Hdqrs. -- Sunday's Committee," points to a headquarters office tied to a committee named for someone called Sunday, but the record does not identify the building, the people involved, or the cause. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, supplied the title from its own negatives or caption cards, and the record flags it as unverified. The Bain agency photographed news events, public figures, and everyday scenes for newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives are now held in the Library of Congress. Without a date, the picture's exact moment is uncertain, but the glass plate format places it in that era of press photography.
