The title pairs a name, Arlotta, with an Italian workman, so the picture appears to show a person or business connected to a laborer from Italy, though the record does not say who either figure was. The caption came from the Bain News Service, which George Grantham Bain founded in New York around 1899 to supply news photographs to newspapers. Its glass negatives, many made in the early decades of the 1900s, document city life, labor, and immigrant workers. Because the title and details are unverified and no date is recorded, the exact setting and timing remain uncertain.
