The notation below the photo ("The Famous Liberty '12'.") is likely referring to an (unseen) photo below the one posted here. The aircraft in the photo is a Curtiss JN-4HG Jenny (ser. no. S.C. 38431). As is evident from the four visible exhaust headers coming from the engine, this is a V-8 engine (the Wright-Hisso E, a license-manufactured version of the Hispano-Suiza 8). The Liberty L-12 (a.k.a. "Liberty Engine") was a significantly larger V-12 engine.

"J.P. Roullot" refers to US Army Air Service aviator Lt. John P. Roullot (25 Jan 1894 - 20 July 1922). Roullot would be killed accidentally on July 20, 1922, at the Mitchel Field shooting range as he was being trained to use the Colt M1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol. He was struck in the abdomen by a round accidentally fired from another M1911 pistol assigned to Lt. Robert Purcell. Purcell would later cleared of any charges relating to the accidental discharge and Lt. Roullot's death. See "Obituaries," Army and Navy Journal, July 29, 1922, Volume LIX, No. 48, Page 1180.
