The record for this glass negative is titled "Reid Funeral," a name that points to a service for someone surnamed Reid, though the title comes from unverified notes made by the Bain News Service and no date is recorded. George Grantham Bain founded the New York agency around 1899 to supply news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives document events of the early twentieth century. Funerals were common subjects for press photographers of that era, because mourners, dignitaries and crowds often gathered at such services. Without a confirmed date or location, the specific occasion remains unclear.
