Maybe Faith Baldwin (1893-1978), prolific American writer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_Baldwin But this photo would be from before her first novel was published (1921). Here's a picture of the author later in life: news.rollins.edu/07annieresearch.shtml

The dog is probably Stephen C. Baldwin's Ermine, a white bulldog bitch which won its class in April 1915 as reported in the NYT at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9505EEDA123FE233A... and also won awards at the April 1914 French Bulldog Club of America Show as reported in query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=940DE7D81E39E633A... Another photo in this batch is also of a winner at the April 1914 show -- www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2969683724/ However, I suspect that the same dogs featured in many shows. Can anyone confirm the location as being the Hotel Astor?

In October 1917, Stephen C. Baldwin and his wife announced the engagement of their daughter Faith in the NYT -- query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9905E5DF113AE433A...

it looked like a dog judging show

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called 1910s Fashion, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Great picture of an early dirigible, maybe 1904. I will show the picture to experts in this field of aviation history, but the name is misspelled it was Roy Knabenshue (1875-1960)

As promised I would consult an expert in early dirigible history and I got far more detailed information about the type of machine and the actual place and time. The picture shows the "California Arrow" designed and built by Captain Baldwin. The dirigible was flown by Roy Knabenshue. Machines were continually modified and this picture shows the second modification fitted with a 8 hp (!) Curtiss engine. The location is Chutes Park in Los Angeles, a baseball station. We are looking in at 30 January 1905. Flyers in those times needed to be very courageous as they only could stand up on small wooden platform in the metal tube construction underneath the gas envelope. Newspapers of the time reported the marvel of flying extensively. As an example here is a reference to a report in the Los Angeles Herald which reports on the event and gives extra pictures covering the event.
