The title pairs two surnames, Choate and Viviani, but the record gives no date and notes that the title is unverified. Viviani most plausibly refers to René Viviani, the French premier who toured the United States in spring 1917 after America entered the First World War, and Choate may refer to Joseph Hodges Choate, the New York lawyer and former ambassador to Britain. The Bain News Service, a New York press agency, sold photographs like this one to newspapers, so the image most likely documents a public appearance or meeting of the period, though the specifics cannot be confirmed from the record.
