What sets this negative apart is its title, "27th Parade," which points to a numbered military unit marching in formation rather than a general civic festival. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds images made by the Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency active in New York in the early twentieth century that supplied pictures of news events to newspapers. No date is recorded, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The glass negative format and the agency's output suggest the period when processions of this kind were frequent subjects for newspaper photographers. The title itself is unverified, so readers researching the event should compare it with the unit's own history.
