Few details survive on this glass negative beyond its caption, which the Bain News Service attached to the image and which names the opening of a Brussels exposition. The most likely event is the 1910 Brussels International Exposition, which opened in April of that year on the grounds at Heysel, though the record itself gives no date. The Bain agency sold news pictures to newspapers, so images like this one often recorded official ceremonies, dignitaries, and crowds on opening day. Because the title comes from unverified caption data, the specific event should be treated as a working identification.
