Marchers identified in the title as Bohemians took part in a parade called "Wake up," though the record gives no date, and the title comes from information supplied by the Bain News Service that has not been independently verified. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of work built by a New York news photography agency in the early twentieth century to record street events, public figures and spectacles for newspapers. Glass plates were the standard medium of press photography before roll film became common, which makes this one a useful example of that working method. Parade pictures like this show how groups presented themselves in public at the time.
