A dressmaker with a notebook and pencil appears to be jotting down details of the passing parade, which sets this picture apart from other views of the Easter custom in the collection. The Easter Parade, when people walked out in new spring clothes to be seen, was a long-standing tradition, and the fashions on display gave dressmakers and designers plenty to study. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no exact date, and its title comes from unverified caption data, so the scene is best read as a general glimpse of the custom.
