Raffle for Goose Christmas [Christmas], 1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Bain News Service in 1910, a group of people gathered around tables and chairs, eagerly participating in a raffle to raise funds for geese. The black and white image captures the excitement and suspense as individuals wait with bated breath to see if they'll be lucky enough to win one of these beloved birds.
The photograph provides a glimpse into American society during the early 20th century, highlighting the social class dynamics at play. Women are seated comfortably in chairs, while men stand or sit on tables, their faces filled with anticipation and hope. The atmosphere is lively, with people chatting and laughing as they wait for the raffle results.
The photograph also serves as a testament to the importance of community fundraising efforts during this time period. Raffles were a popular way for organizations to raise money for various causes, including animal welfare initiatives like those supporting geese conservation.
This historic image is now part of the Library of Congress's Heritage Images collection, providing a unique window into America's past and its people.
