Quiero comentar como mexicano y patriota, que en esta imagen las personas que aparecen en ella... No son insurectos ni nada por el estilo, son mexicanos que lucharon por la libertad de su raza y de sus ideales, los cuales siempre fueron contra la marginacion y el desprecio de los mismos mexicanos, por unos cuanto extranjeros ricos acaparadores, los cuales apoyados por unos cuanto malos, mexicanos querian tener sumido en el hoyo de la pobresa y la ignorancia al pueblo mexicano... Por lo tanto son mexicanos valientes y valiosos, y es inadmicible que estas fotografias esten en manos extranjeras y no en los museos o en poder de mexicanos.

strange that these photos taken in Mexico have "south america" as a tag, when Mexico is part of North America. Shouldn't this be corrected?

Besides this picture is close by call number to www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ggbain.09390/ the man marked with an x as white recruit seems most likely to be the second (from left to right) in this picture; and the first one could be the man standing backwards in that picure. Would it be possible?

jerodamor: An interesting possiblity, but I can't say there is enough certainty to make a change to the record. Thanks for the observation!

Mike Slichenmyer: Good point about the tag! We leave the ability to tag open to all Flickr users, and do find there are sometimes edits needed. There are several photos of Mexico which appear to have been incorrectly tagged as South America, so I'll see about having those corrected. Thanks for your comment!

She has a long wikipedia page. Born in 1865, she looks an adult here, so after 1885?

Niall McAuley There's another photograph circulating of her with Anna Johnston in which she looks quite a bit younger. Given that they were associated with each other from about 1893, I think it likely that our picture can't be much earlier than 1900, and is probably later.

The bridge looks familiar, but I can't think where I've seen it. There's rhododendrons everywhere, so that narrows it down to all of Ireland.

The notes in the catalogue state that the picture was a gift from Joseph Holloway. Mind you, it also says Joly Collection, which is from 1863.

What a beautiful photograph... the flowers in the background match the young ladies dresses - great composition and color!!!! Love it.

I love how, even though this was taken over 60 years ago, those buildings look almost identical today.

glass window -- totally agree -- it's fascinating.

There's such a European look to the architecture and landscaping, I had to do a double-take to be sure it said this was D.C. The people in it are intriguing, too; I wonder whether they were models or actual servicemen and their dates? I like how the polka-dotted woman's right arm is motion-blurred, and how neatly the stripe-skirted lady's feet are pressed together.

I Love it, I love it! Look at the way those girls are dressed..
