The record names this picture "Bandage instruction," though that title comes from unverified caption data and the record gives no date. The negative is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s. First-aid and home-nursing classes were widely taught during that period, especially during the First World War, when volunteers were trained in large numbers, so the subject reflects a broader public interest in practical health skills.
