The title names a "Silver Shred," presented as a dainty appetizer, and the name alone suggests something finely cut and delicately arranged for a small first course. Appetizers of this kind became popular in American dining during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when hosts increasingly served small, decorative bites before a formal meal. Pictures of such dishes were often used to show what was fashionable on the table, so the image reflects not only the food but the manners and presentation expected of a well-set dinner of the period.
