Captioned as a Jewish New Year parade in New York in 1912, this glass negative came from the Bain News Service, a photo agency that sent pictures of city life and current events to newspapers. The title comes from caption data that has not been independently verified, so the exact street and occasion are uncertain. The parade would have marked Rosh Hashanah, which falls in early autumn. Glass plates like this one preserve sharp detail of crowds and clothing from the period.
