What sets this picture apart is the set of names written on its glass negative, though the record notes they are unverified and the people they name remain unidentified. The scene belongs to the Liberty Loan campaigns, the bond drives the United States ran during World War I to help pay for the war, when parades like this one carried patriotic appeals through city streets. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency whose glass negatives document much of American urban life in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, so the exact day of the parade is uncertain.
