dorothy

a beautiful woman.

She is...lovely picture, too.

Apparently she was in movies, she is listed in IMBD but no info except date of death.

Picture taken September, 1912 in Philadelphia, PA. She was also photographed with Wyoming's just-elected governor, J.M. Casey and his wife and a relative of his. The large, riveted metal piece in the background is the battleship's prow.

The inscription on this is wrong somewhere. Gladys Deacon was Duchess of Marlborough. Her sister Dorothy was Princess Radziwill.

Thanks for disentangling the identification of the two sisters. We'll adjust the descriptions to make it more clear which was which.

Picture was taken September, 1912 at the christening of the USS Wyoming in Philadelphia, PA. Note Dorothy Knight's identified picture here. The riveted metal shape is the boat's prow. J.M. Carey was a congressman and then governor of Wyoming, elected 1912 (see book reference here).

Picture was taken on May 25, 1911. www.glasglow.com/e2/us/USS_Wyoming_(BB-32).html: USS Wyoming (BB-32), the lead ship of her class of battleship was the third ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the 44th state.
