This glass negative is dated May 13, 1916, and its title, "Parade," comes from the Bain News Service's own notes, which the Library of Congress lists as unverified. The date matches a large preparedness parade held in New York that month, when the United States was debating how far to build up its military before entering the First World War, though the record itself does not confirm the subject. Bain, a New York photo agency, sold news pictures like this one to newspapers, so the negative offers a glimpse of how daily events were documented for the press in that era.
