    Apparently the saxhorn was "the most common brass instrument in American Civil War bands." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxhorn

    for details of the various saxhorns.
    And a Civil War saxhorn and drum band:

    sad how the parents seem to be disconnected to the children. the mother has the baby perched on her lap and her arms folded, and the father almost seems to be leaning away from the young girl.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Some of this , maybe a lot, is informed by the long camera exposures of the day. In most of these photos, the subject assumes a fixed position with the arms usually resting firmly somewhere or otherwise supported. There were also portrait customs which dictated that the subjects of a portrait like this shouldn't be smiling or showing teeth. The father in this one is in a chair, the older daughter on a bench, supported by leaning against him. His head tilt slightly away from her could also be partly due to the saxhorn between them, sticking up over his shoulder. Because of those issues, I don't read a whole lot into this about their relationship.

3-Prize winning babies- Henry Beekman (3d)--Ada Cohen (2d) Marie Danaher (1st) (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    So I found babies with similar names winning a "perfect baby contest" in New York, 22 June 1914. It only gives the girl winners, which leaves out young Henry: Johanna Wiggers was the winner, Olga Cohen took second place ($25), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hymen Cohen; and "The Bkln. borough prize went to Marie Danaher of 363 Baltic. She scored 98.7%." See "Perfect a Baby Girl," Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac 30(1915): 358. books.google.com/books?id=zMkWAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA358&l...

    Bain's caption for the lad looks like "Beekman" -- not "Beerman."
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    I agree, it looks like Beekman.
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Found them! New-York Tribune, 26 June 1914, page 14:
    The mayor awarded to Olga Cohen of 56 Chrystie Street second prize for the borough; to Henry Beekman of 304 West 135th St., first prize for the Bronx; and to Marie Danager of 363 Battie Street, 1st prize for Brooklyn.

    Better baby contests represented the "softer" side of the eugenics movement.
