I so would have loved to have lived during these times!

Just a hint of the zeppelin. It's refreshing to see the curiousity of the several viewers 'frozen' :)

Fantastic !

This must be the future George V. If it was really shot in 1910, it must be early in the year, as his father died and he became king-emperor in May. It's possible that this was shot after George V ascended the throne, in which case the PoW would be the young man in the checkered cap, the future Edward VIII, who was but 16 in 1910.

Princess Anne looks quite a bit like her.

she lived 1897-1965, so she might be teenager here? She was only daughter of George V. Her brothers were both Kings of England: Edward VIII and George VI. here is her Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary,_Princess_Royal_and_Countess_o...

My father's uncle, Adolphe Chapleau, was the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec in the late 1800s. My family has many pieces of silver tableware from the Chapleaus, and assorted pieces given to them ... one of the pieces is a gift from the countess and her husband. It's a pen and ink well set on a tray and is really beautifully made.

Wow...wonderful. I'm sure this image makes the set even more personal for you, and your family.

She sailed to America from Queenstown [now Cobh] Ireland in December 1912, on the Celtic, which also carried Miss Violet Asquith, the daughter of British Prime Minister Herbert H. Asquith, for a visit to Washington, D. C. as a guest of the British Ambassador, Lord Bryce, and Mrs. Bryce. In 1912, the Countess of Aberdeen's husband was serving as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The photo of her probably was taken after her arrival in the U. S. Story in The New York Times, December 20, 1912: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9C04E1DA1E3AE6...
