Recorded in 1918 on a glass negative, this parade image comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its exact location and marchers are not identified in the record, and the title "Parade" is taken from agency notes that have not been independently verified. The year places it near the end of World War I, when American towns often held parades for war bond drives, patriotic events and returning servicemen. Glass plates like this one give today's viewers a sharp, detailed look at how such public occasions were staged and photographed.
