    This appears to the be the Burgess Model I flying boat (not to be confused with the Burgess Model I Scout) built for Robert J. Collier. Famed aviator Frank Coffyn tested the aircraft for Collier at Marblehead, Massachusetts (dating the photo to July/August 1913). The engine is a 220 horsepower Anzani 20 radial engine, an immensely powerful engine for the era featuring two 10-cylinder rows. In fact, this particular engine (visible just behind Coffyn) may be the very first of its type built and sold by Italian motor manufacturer Anzani. www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1913/1913%20-%200722...

    Mrs. W. Starling - Burgess (LOC)

    and to judge from the flowers at left in the picture of him, the two pictures were taken on the same occasion.

    chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1900-08-05/ed-... has an article about him inventing an automatic gun while an undergraduate at Harvard. The article starts near the top of column 1 and has a picture of him at the bottom of that column.
