Alas, I have no reminiscences worthy to be recorded!" Shapiro was an assistant district attorney in New York City and the author of books and articles on a wide range of topics. Shapiro's request for a reminiscence was probably related to one of his writing projects. The photograph's caption reads (in part): "IN MOURNING: The Supreme Court chair of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo, who died last Saturday, was draped in black today. It was the first time that mourning black was placed on the bench since 1930, when Justice Sanford died.".
