Wikipedia has this to say about the Crocker Land Expedition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocker_Land_Expedition, which was led by Donald Macmillan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Baxter_MacMillan

I love how the supplies were run down the dock on rail trucks. There's a delivery horse+buggy for Sozodont, a mouth wash. Wonder how long the members of the expedition were worried about their breath. The links @amphalon provided describe just how treachorous the trip was. They seem to have been a bit fanciful in their choice of supplies. Anyone know why the flag atop the center mast says "DIIN"?

Compare the photo to one taken of the construction of the Battleship New York. The building on the right of both photos is the same. I guess that in this photo, we are looking across at the construction site of the New York? (a year after the New York was completed)

Flag atop the center mast says "Diana," the name of the ship.

Woops, you're right!

That would be Mrs. Arthur Scott-Burden--she was an heiress and an equestrian champion in the 1910s. She was formerly the Honorable Cynthia Burke Roche, of London (1884-1966); her maternal grandfather was a protegee of Cornelius Vanderbilt. After Scott-Burden (b. 1879) died in a 1921 polo accident, she remarried in 1922, to Guy Fairfax Cary. Mrs. Scott-Burden's brother, Edmund Maurice Burke Roche (1885-1955), was the grandfather of Diana Spencer.

Princess Diana's great aunt, then?

Speak of the devil, we have a photo on here of this fellow called Maurice Roche, might he be the same brother? www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163448066/in/s...

From the New York Times 1921 - Arthur Scott Burden, brother of James A. Burden, President of the Burden Iron Works of Troy and husband of the former Cynthia, Roche, died yesterday of pneumonia at a branch of the New York Hospital in White Plains. Headline includes, twice injured by falls from his horse

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

This statue depicts Diana the Huntress - it was a marble statue on a sandstone base installed in Centennial Park in the c1890s. It was possibly sourced by Job Hanson: www.daao.org.au/main/read/3063 The statue was removed from the park by the 1970s.

Olivier Thank you!

DannyM8 Thank you, resident canophile! :) So this 1749 engraving might have been published to tie in with her wedding in September 1749 then?

Same engraving is in the National Portrait Gallery - www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw36014/Rebecc...
