A presidential automobile is the subject here, and the caption links it to a wedding listed under the names Gordon and Grayson. The photograph is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news pictures made in New York in the early twentieth century and now held by the Library of Congress. The caption card gives no exact date, but the reference to Pres. Wilson places the picture between 1913 and 1921. It shows how newspaper photographers recorded the mix of private celebration and official attention, with the automobile itself a sign of how new such vehicles had become in public life.
