Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is the setting, and the title ties the scene to the city's Easter parade, when churchgoers and strollers filled the avenue to show off new spring clothes and hats. The record dates the negative to April 19, 1908, a week after Easter that year, so the holiday link rests on caption data that has not been verified. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century.
