The studio of painter C. Warde Traver, photographed in Central Park, is the subject of this glass negative, which dates to the early twentieth century. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service photographers produced pictures like this for newspapers and magazines, which often printed them with short captions. The record notes that the title comes from caption information the service recorded but has not been verified, so the exact date and setting remain uncertain. Even so, the image offers a glimpse of how working artists used the city's open spaces and studios during that period.
