A parade by the German-American Rifle Team is the subject here, a sign of how marksmanship clubs were part of New York's immigrant social life. German-American shooting societies were common across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and their members often marched in public processions with rifles and banners. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made from glass negatives by the Bain News Service, which supplied news photographs to newspapers. The title and date are unverified, so the exact occasion is uncertain, but the image records one community's public pride in its heritage.
