The title, "Whitman Voting," points to a voter named Whitman at the polls, but the record says it comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the voter and the election remain uncertain. The picture is a glass negative, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, from the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Election-day scenes like this were a staple of that coverage, showing polling places and the citizens who came out to cast ballots.
