The record names a strike in Brooklyn, though the caption is unverified and the exact date and cause are unknown. The picture survives as a glass negative, a format widely used by news photographers around the turn of the twentieth century, when labor disputes in New York's boroughs drew steady press attention. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of current events. Because the negative and caption card are the main sources, viewers should treat the subject as a starting point and check the Library of Congress record for any later corrections.
