Madero & advisors, 1911 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    #5 is Francisco Ignacio Madero, President of Mexico 1911-1913. The caption says "F. I. Madero" and the photo is a match for the one in the Wikipedia article.
  • Miguel Angel Omaña Rojas said:
    #3 in the photograph is Venustiano Carranza. I haven't heard of the Carrenas name in Mexico, unless it could be Carreñas. Yet, when I saw who the person was, no doubt, his beard and eyeglasses says it all... he is Venustiano Carranza. When president Madero (#5 in the photograph) and Pino Suarez are assasinated by Huerta (not in the picture), Venustiano Carranza declares war against Huerta on the inconstitutionality of the coup d'etat. His army was known as the Carrancistas or the Ejercito Constitucionalista (Constitutionalist Army). He also became president but was also assasinated.

    tolteca_pilo: Thank you for the additional information! We will edit the source data to reflect that #3 appears to be Venustiano Carranza and then reload the description to Flickr.

    After writing my first comment I learned a new fact. According to Taibo, biographer of Pancho Villa, this is one of two similar photographs. Both are the same, only difference is that Pancho Villa appears in one. No one knows why he dissappeared for the second photo.

    Interesting text and great photo - thanks! Looking back, it's tempting to say that countries are better off when they're the workshops of the world than under post-industrial economies.

    Could be a turret for the battleship HMS Monarch as that was under construction at Elswick in 1911.

    Oh wow this is a fantastic photo! Very atmospheric! I kinda forgot these things are assembled 'dirty' and then dismantled, painted and placed onto a ship..
  • Billy Embleton said:
    13.5 inch calibre Paul. Monarch mounted 10 of these guns in 5 turrets. As a footnote the Japanese battleships Yamato & Musashi mounted the largest guns in history at 18 inch calibre. The armoured plates on the turret faces were 25 inches thick.

    That's madness Billy. Mind saying that, it's how warfare was carried out on the seas then. Now it's missiles and aircraft..
