The title names a person called Gorrie, pictured on the way home from work with police officers beside them, a sight that points to the labor and street tensions of the period. The negative is one of the glass plates from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain that supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and its title comes from caption data that has not been verified, so the details of the scene remain open. Police escorts for workers during strikes and disputes were a familiar feature of American cities at the time, which makes the picture a useful record of that practice.
