A Wreath in Time is a 1909 American silent comedy film written and directed by D. W. Griffith, produced by the Biograph Company of New York City, and co-starring Mack Sennett and Florence Lawrence.

In its published 1985 catalog of paper prints in its silent-film collection, the Library of Congress provides the following summary of the comedy's storyline:A man (Mack Sennett) takes leave of his wife (Florence Lawrence) and goes off to a saloon, where his friends and the liquor influence him into going to a burlesque show.

[2][b]The screenplay for this short is credited to director Griffith, who produced the picture at Biograph's headquarters and main studio, which were located inside a renovated brownstone mansion at 11 East 14th Street in New York City.

"[5] That news item also informs filmgoers that for the price of ten cents they can purchase a poster from Biograph on which the names and respective portraits of 26 of the company’s principal actors were featured.

Florence Lawrence, in the role of Mrs. John Goodhusband in this film, was known in 1909 to theater audiences only as the "Biograph Girl", although within a few years after this comedy's release, she would be widely publicized as one of the leading actors in the United States' motion-picture industry.
