en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Carrel "Alexis Carrel (French: [alɛksi kaʁɛl]; 28 June 1873 – 5 November 1944) was a French surgeon and biologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1912 for pioneering vascular suturing techniques. He invented the first perfusion pump with Charles A. Lindbergh opening the way to organ transplantation."

We've seen him before, e.g.,

He sailed for France on the steamer Paris, s. caption of photo in The gazette-times.

swanq and B-59, Thank you for the details about Dr. Carrel and the matching images from the newspapers. We will include more details when we update the description.

I am uncertain, but this looks like Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel Laureate for Medicine in 1912. See his bio here: nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1912/carre... He became attached to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York in 1906.

I could be wildly off-base, but that seems like it was taken on a ship.

There is an interesting series of Flickr LoC pictures of President Taft going to a big celebration in honor of Carrel, at City College in New York, for example see this one: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2368285067/ here is wikipedia entry about Dr. Carrel: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Carrel

A search of Ellis Island Records www.ellisislandrecords.org/search/matchMore.asp?LNM=CARRE... suggests that he crossed the Atlantic frequently. So the fact that this was on a ship doesn't help with dating it.

Wow! That's fascinating, swanq! I didn't even know there was an Ellis Island Records site!
