A glass negative titled "Russian Barricade" comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the New York photo agency's archive that supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early 1900s. The catalog gives no date, and the title comes from caption cards that the agency's staff wrote, so the exact place and moment are unconfirmed. Barricades of street debris and overturned carts appeared in Russian cities during the revolutionary upheavals of 1905 and 1917, which is the setting that the title suggests. Viewers should weigh the title as a clue rather than a verified fact.
