The record ties this glass negative to a funeral dated September 19, 1914, and to a family or individual named Sullivan, though that title comes from the agency's own notes and has not been independently verified, so the people involved remain unconfirmed. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. September 1914 was only weeks after the First World War began in Europe, and wire photographers of the period regularly covered funerals and civic events alongside the war news. The glass plate itself is worth a look, since its fine detail reflects the photographic standards of press work at the time.
