A 1912 glass negative titled "Easter - 5th Ave." records one of New York's best-known spring traditions, the Easter Sunday promenade along Fifth Avenue, where churchgoers and strollers showed off new hats, gowns, and suits after services. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers, documented many such street scenes in the years before the First World War. The title comes from caption data the record describes as unverified, so the exact location and details are worth checking against the catalog. The small 5 by 7 inch glass plate was a common format for news photography of the period.
