The title, "Tom Lee Funeral," comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote for its negatives, and the record does not confirm the man's identity or give a date. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news photographs that the Bain News Service, a New York agency, sold to newspapers and magazines in the early 20th century. Funerals were a regular subject for press photographers of that era, who recorded mourners, pallbearers, and the crowds that gathered for prominent or widely known deaths. Because the caption is unverified, the subject and setting are best read as a documentary record of a funeral rather than a confirmed account of a particular event.
