The title identifies these children as German and as coming from Sweden, but the record gives no date, and the wording comes from caption cards that have not been verified. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Its work was recorded on glass negatives like this one, which reflects how commercial press photography was made in that period. Without a firm date or location, the children's circumstances remain unclear, but the plate shows the working methods of a busy news photo service.
