Flowers offered for sale in Union Square on Easter Sunday give this picture a street-market focus rather than a religious one. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a news photography service that documented New York life in the years after 1900. Union Square, at Broadway and Fourth Avenue, was a busy meeting place where sidewalk sellers and shoppers gathered, and holiday trade there often spilled onto the pavement. The caption information was recorded at the time by the news service and has not been independently verified, so the exact date is best treated as approximate.
