Union Square in Manhattan has long been a public gathering place, and in the days before Easter it drew sellers who set up temporary stalls of spring blooms for holiday buyers. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a photo agency that recorded New York street life and current events in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption information written on the negatives, so the exact year remains uncertain. Glass negatives like this one hold fine detail, which makes them useful for seeing how such markets were arranged.
