Little is recorded about this glass negative beyond its title, "27th Parade," which the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its caption card, though the cataloguers flag that wording as unverified. The 27th most likely refers to a military unit whose march through city streets drew attention in the early twentieth century, when parades were a staple of news photography. Bain's New York agency sold pictures like this to newspapers eager for images of public ceremonies, and its glass plates preserve crowds, uniforms and street life from that period.
