Sybil E. Young married Lyman Northrop Hine (1888-1930), 10 November 1914. Maybe his first initial is wrong on the original caption, or maybe this is a relative of her husband's? Anyway, the Mr. Hine who was her first husband was a member of the 1928 US bobsled team that won a silver medal at St. Moritz; he died at 41 in a car accident in Paris. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman_Hine www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/hi/lyman-hine-... They had two children, Francis and Sybil. After Hine died, Sybil married Fred G. Clark, an oil refinery executive from Cleveland.

Octave Homberg (1876-1941) was the main assistant of Alexandre Ribot, french Minister of Finance in 1914, he presided the currency board and negotiated the American loan. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famille_Homberg see: New-York tribune, September 11, 1915, Page 3: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1915-09-11/ed-... (O. Homberg described as member of French Foreign Office) "Sir Basil Phillott Blackett (8 January 1882 – 15 August 1935) was a British Civil Servant and expert on international finance." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Blackett_%28civil_servant%29

The New-York Tribune article above indicates that the three were "ANGLO FRENCH FINANCIAL COMMISSIONERS CONFERRING WITH BANKERS TO ARRANGE HUGE WAR LOAN FOR ALLIES."

Annual Report of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York books.google.com/books?id=BJYpAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA40&lp... published in 1916, indicates that they arrived on September 10, 1915 "The Anglo-French commissioners, Lord Reading, Sir Edward H. Holden, Bart., Sir Henry Babington Smith, Basil P. Blackett, Esq., M. Ernest Mallet, and M. Octave Homberg, arrived on September 10 to discuss with American bankers plans to stabilize exchange. Further large shipments of gold were received from London via Halifax. Rates fluctuated irregularly. During the next month a firmer tone resulted from prospects of successful negotiations with the Anglo-French commissioners, but when the underwriting of the $500,000,000 loan was announced the market did not respond and weakness in sterling was accompanied by recessions in continental exchange. During the third week in October the publication of figures of heavy exports and large offerings of bills caused further weakness." Other pictures in this batch capture the delivery of a shipment of gold.

The Bankers Magazine, Volume 91, p 636 books.google.com/books?id=cXU9AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA636&l... has a piece on The Anglo-French Loan. An October 15 United Press report in news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19151017&... Indicates that these three did not travel together on the return trip. Hence this picture is likely taken when they arrived from Europe in September. books.google.com/books?id=5uggAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA757&l... reports that they arrived on the SS Lapland of the White Star Line. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Lapland

What a jolly, elegant couple! They must have been stars of cultural New York for a time. . . . I love her costume--simply beautiful! I see she was the official expedition photographer on his exploring trip to Central Asia, in 1921. I see from the Wikipedia on him that he divorced her in 1930. Remarried in 1935. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Chapman_Andrews -- Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)

I like this image.

Wow -- I remember reading his books about dinosaurs when I was a kid in the 60's.

She also worked with him on the Asiatic Zoological Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History that left New York by train to San Francisco on March 20, 1916, then by sea to China on March 28 on the S.S.
