Shoppers buying Easter flowers in Union Square, New York, set this glass negative apart from the other pictures on this board, which share the holiday theme but not the setting. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The title was supplied by the agency and has not been checked against other records, so the exact date and the people pictured are uncertain. Still, buying spring flowers from street stalls before Easter was a familiar custom in busy city neighborhoods like this one.
