Vendors selling Easter flowers in Union Square, New York, are the subject of this glass negative, which lets us see the seasonal trade on a Manhattan street. Union Square had long been a gathering place and a center for street commerce, and flower sellers often set up along its edges in the weeks before Easter, when churchgoers bought lilies and spring blooms. The photograph comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain's news service recorded street scenes like this for newspaper use in the early 1900s. The title and date come from the original caption information, which has not been independently verified.
