Governors Island, in New York Harbor, is the setting here, and the scene shows a garden party with rows of guests and strings of flags strung across the lawn. The island served as a military post for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, so a gathering like this would have been an unusual sight, likely tied to official life at the fort and its commanding officers. Flags and formal dress signal a public occasion rather than a casual outing. Today the island is a National Monument and a place of public parkland, which makes this glimpse of its social past especially worth a look.
