The only detail that sets this glass negative apart is its title, "Rariden," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, though that name has not been verified. No date is attached, so the subject and moment remain uncertain. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news photographs made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers and magazines in the early 1900s. Glass plates like this one capture the period's news pictures in fine detail, and they are worth comparing with other Bain images from the same years.
