The floral display itself is the subject of this view of Dago Frank's funeral, and the name comes from a title that the Bain News Service supplied with the negative. The record gives no date, and the Bain agency, a New York photo service, was active in the early twentieth century, so the exact occasion is best confirmed against contemporary newspaper coverage. Large arrangements like these were a common feature of funerals of the period, when sending flowers signaled a person's standing among family, friends and associates.
