Hi, I'm an admin for a group called 1910s Fashion, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Posed on the occasion of the annual lawn party on Governors Island in New York harbor, sponsored by the Army Relief Society, on May 25, 1911. General Grant, son of former President Ulysses S. Grant, was commanding officer at the Governors Island military installation until his death from cancer in April, 1912.

Men and women alike have been drawn to the race’s frivolities since the 19th century, each year upping the stakes and donning some of the year’s most unique and luxurious styles. Since then, racegoers have become just as interested in the contest of fashions on the lawn as they are in watching the horses compete on the turf. While fashions have come and gone over the years from controversial dresses hemmed five inches above the knees, to pant suits teamed with wide-brimmed hats and feathers, the event continues to capture the imagination of the public.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I don't think 'This is my lovely day' had been written yet in 1943. Wiki says 1947 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bless_the_Bride
