Crowds of holiday shoppers crowd a New York street in this glass negative, a small, sharp record of the city's busiest shopping season. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, built from the Bain News Service, which Bain founded in New York in 1899 to supply newspapers with news pictures. The title and its details come from information the service wrote on the negatives or caption cards, and that information has not been independently verified, so the exact street and date remain uncertain. Still, the scene shows how Christmas shopping drew people into the streets of a crowded urban center in the early twentieth century.
