A club leader seated among seven tea experts sets this picture apart: Mrs. Lyonel Robinson, president of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs, sits with the U.S. Board of Tea Experts. Wide World, a news photo agency, produced the print, and its caption card dates the sitting to February 8, 1954. Tea tasters of this kind assessed leaf quality for the trade, a quiet link in the supply chain behind the everyday cup. The caption data is unverified, so the exact occasion remains open.
