The record preserves only a caption, which identifies a group of people as "Arabs" from the Garden of Allah in New York. The name echoes Robert Hichens's 1904 novel about a romance in the Algerian desert, a title that was later adapted for the stage and screen and helped popularize a romanticized image of North Africa. Bain News Service, the photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain, produced glass negatives like this one for newspaper use in New York starting in the early 1900s. The caption is noted as unverified, so the exact occasion and the identities of the people shown remain uncertain.
