The title places this glass negative on Easter Saturday in Union Square, a detail that sets it apart from the holiday scenes on this board. The record does not give a date, but the George Grantham Bain Collection holds news photographs made by the Bain News Service, mostly in New York, from the early 1900s into the 1920s. Its glass negatives were a common way to capture crowds and street life in that period. The title comes from caption cards and negative sleeves that the service itself wrote, so the location and day are worth reading as the photographer's own notes.
