"Rudolph Blankenburg (February 16, 1843 – April 12, 1918) was a businessman and manufacturer, who became a politician and elected mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, leading a reform administration from 1912 to 1916." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Blankenburg

B-59: Thanks for the additional information on Blankenburg; we'll include his full name (and the full names of the other persons in the photo) next time we update the description.
C.J. Blankenburgh said:
Who is the Mr. Blankenburgh on the photo? I am Chris Blankenburgh, born and living in the Netherlands together with lots of other Blankenburghs. In the city of Utrecht you find three buildings "Blankenburgh", "Klein (Small) Blankenburgh", and "Groot (Great) Blankenburgh" Could anybody tell me more about the Mr. Blankenburgh behind President Wilson? Please mail to blanblot@zonnet.nl. Thank You!

This photo appears to gave been taken about a month before George Sisler's major league debut with the St. Louis Browns, on June 28, 1915. Mr. Sisler set the Major League Baseball record for most hits in a season, 257, in 1920, a record that stood until 2004.
