The subject here is the press itself: a group of society reporters waiting outside a gate, rather than the couple or the ceremony. The title links the picture to the Széchenyi wedding, the 1908 marriage of Gladys Vanderbilt, American heiress, to Hungarian Count László Széchenyi, which drew heavy coverage from New York newspapers. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that supplied images to newspapers. Its caption data is marked as unverified, so the exact date and the identity of every figure are worth checking against the Library of Congress record.
