What sets this negative apart is its subject: women picketing in New York, a detail the caption records in only a few words. The Bain News Service label reads 2/5/10, which likely means February 1910, during the shirtwaist strike, when thousands of mostly young immigrant women garment workers walked out and picketed shops across Manhattan. Bain's agency made many news pictures on glass plates like this one, and the format keeps the street-level detail that makes such scenes useful to historians of labor.
