Few pictures in the Bain collection carry as little detail as this one, so the record itself is worth reading closely. The title names Harvard University and the year 1911, and the Bain News Service, the Manhattan photo agency that supplied news images to newspapers in the early 1900s, labeled its negatives from unverified captions, so the exact view is not confirmed. Harvard, in Cambridge just across the Charles River from Boston, was then a well-established campus of brick halls and tree-lined yards, and glass negatives of this kind preserve how such places looked to the press of the day.
