    Sweet ride!

    I believe this is actually not near Creede, CO at all. A horizon this flat can only be seen near the front range in Colorado. I would guess that this is taken on US-40 climbing Mount Vernon Canyon west of Golden, CO, facing west. The hill in the center just below the horizon would then be Green Mountain south of Golden. These days, I-70 takes up most of this valley, as you can see in this shot facing uphill: www.dot.state.co.us/50anniversary/images/I70Photos/I70Mou...

Taft's Auto leaving N.Y. Public Library (LOC)

    "On May 23, 1911, the main branch of the New York Public Library was officially opened in a ceremony presided over by President William Howard Taft. " - Wikipedia

    That thing gotta Hemi??
  • aware health said:
    The guy in the boater hat must be Secret Service, or the equivalent -- definitely challenging the photographer.
  • technogeo said:
    Both cars have the same licence plate number. Is it possible that all the cars of Taft's fleet had the same plates?
  • aware health said:
    I think I found the answer. (Is there anything that can't be Googled?) By the auto registration laws of those days, dealers could apply for one registration for their entire fleet and then get duplicate plates of the registration number for all their cars. (I tried to make a tinyurl of the "McKinney's Consolidated Laws" Googlebook website but Flickr won't post it.) I'd guess that Taft took the train to NYC, and a local dealer supplied the cars for his motorcade. Can you tell the model? There's a logo on the lead car's grille, but it's hidden by the license plate.

Pres't Wilson, wife & daughter at summer home (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Infrogmation of New Orleans said:
    Looks to me like President Woodrow Wilson's first wife, Ellen Axson Wilson, on the right. Wikipedia article. She died in 1914. I'll let someone else figure out which of the Wilson daughters this is. Wilson's summer home in the first years of his presidency, which this must be from as the first Mrs. Wilson is still alive, was in Cornish, New Hampshire.

    Ellen Axson Wilson and her daughter Jessie (for comparison's sake):
  • Wystan said:
    A story in the New York Times (July 6, 1913) reported that Wilson had seen the New Hampshire summer White House on that day, for the first time ever. On arrival, he kissed his wife, and his daughter, "Miss Eleanor." Eleanor is the girl in the photo. Daughter Jessie arrived later in the evening, with her fiance, Francis Sayre. Daughter Margaret, visiting in Madison, Wisconsin, was not present. Here is the NYT story: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A04E2DC153FE6...
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for helping to sort out who is pictured and likely when. It does appear to be Pres. Wilson with Ellen Axson Wilson and daughter Eleanor. There's a nice photo of Jessie and Eleanor together that can be viewed in our online catalog: hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b36415 . We'll add information to the description when we update the record.
