13th Calvary (LOC)

    "Calvary"? How embarrassing.

    The 13th Cavalry Regiment ("13th Horse") is a unit of the United States Army. The 1st and 2nd Squadrons are currently stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas as part of the 1st Armored Division. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_Cavalry_Regiment
  • swanq said:
    From the regiment's Wikipedia entry: "On April 12, 1916, about 100 men of the 13th Cavalry engaged Mexican federal troops in the Battle of Parral. During the fighting, two Americans were killed and six others were wounded. However, they defeated the Mexicans, killing at least a dozen of them or possibly many more. The 13th Cavalry remained ready near the Mexican border until 1921." So this is presumably taken "near the Mexican border."

Castletown House, Kildare, 1990

    One leg shorter than the other?

    Resisting the urge to tag cars (as we are wont to do), but I think there's a VW hatchback (maybe a Jetta or Passat), a Renault 5, and a Micra (or maybe a Fiesta). I can't see the OPW allowing anyone (staff or visitor) to park their hatchbacks out front like that any more. More interesting though is the restoration work on the parapet top right. And the trees. Comparing to the 19th century photo they seem to be the same trees and shrubs. And I suppose why wouldn't they be - after 100 years of care and topiary.

    Subpopulus Hibernia 100 years ago the photographer would have had his camera mounted on a tripod complete with spirit level. He would also have a a "rising front" on his camera to avoid the dreaded "converging verticals" we see here. Progress eh?? Bob

Conried Funeral (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    "Conried"I believe
  • Markus Trapp said:
    Yes: The name of the director of the Metropolitan Opera ist Heinrich Conried, not "Conreid" as written in the title and the description of the foto. As Conried died on 27 Apr 1909, the foto can be dated correctly with 1909. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Conried
  • Art Siegel said:
    the funeral does look like it's in a theater with a set as the backdrop. but these pictures are supposed to start in 1910. Yet his funeral was at the Metropolitan Opera House on May 13, 1909. An account of the funeral: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9806E5DE1E31E733A...
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks all! We'll look int it.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called New York City Undertakers & Funeral Homes, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
