The title points to an Independence Day parade, but the record gives no date or place, so the specific procession is unknown. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news photographs from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Fourth of July parades were a staple of American civic life then, with marching bands, local organizations, veterans and decorated floats drawing crowds to main streets. The title comes from the agency's own notes and has not been independently verified, so the particulars should be read as provisional.
