The record names the Waldorf roof as the setting, a reference to the rooftop dining and dancing space of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in midtown Manhattan, which drew fashionable crowds in the early twentieth century. The title describes a pair of dancers performing a "Dutch dance," one of the novelty and social dances that were popular on American ballroom floors at the time. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a press photo agency that documented New York street life, theater, and society. The title comes from caption information the agency wrote on the negatives, which the Library of Congress notes has not been independently verified.
