The title on this glass negative pairs the names Sawyer, Lasker and Harding, though the record flags them as unverified. Albert Lasker chaired the United States Shipping Board during Warren G. Harding's presidency, so the names suggest the early 1920s and a government setting. The Bain News Service, the New York agency run by George Grantham Bain, sold pictures of officials and news events to newspapers, and its captions were often added in haste. With no date recorded, the exact occasion remains a question for further research.
