A glass negative titled "Christmas plane" comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of work made by the Bain News Service, a Manhattan picture agency that sent photographers and sold images to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the subject is best read as a holiday-themed aircraft scene rather than a documented event. Bain's shops produced many news and feature pictures of this era, and the collection is valued today for the way it records everyday American life and the emerging interest in flight. Looking closely at the plane and the people around it may reveal more about the occasion than the label does.
