Crowds moving through the entrance of Carnegie Hall give this view its subject, which the caption ties to a New York State Republican convention. The hall, opened in 1891 on West 57th Street with funds from steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, was one of the city's leading venues for concerts, lectures and political meetings in the early twentieth century. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers across the country. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded, so the specific event is worth checking before you rely on it.
