Caption information ties this print to the January 27, 1908, wedding of a Vanderbilt and a Hungarian count, Szechenyi, in New York, a major society event of the Gilded Age that drew newspaper attention. The card also names H.P. Whitney and Dorothy Whitney, but those names do not match the wedding in the title, so treat the identification as unverified. The photograph comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, whose news pictures documented New York personalities and events in the early twentieth century.
