The title credits a man named Gaynor with reviewing a parade. The caption most likely refers to William J. Gaynor, mayor of New York from 1910 to 1913, though the title itself is unverified. Reviewing parades from a reviewing stand was a routine civic duty for mayors of that era, when marching bands, veterans and fraternal groups filled city streets. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that documented city life in the early twentieth century.
