The title "SARATOGA broken" is the only identifying detail in this record, and it may refer to the glass negative's condition rather than to anything shown in the scene. The Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose negatives make up this collection, supplied news and feature images in the early twentieth century, and its caption cards are often the only source for titles like this one. Saratoga, in upstate New York, is known for its mineral springs, its racetrack, and the 1777 battle that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War. The record does not say which of these, if any, the picture shows.
