    A "Liberty Loan" would put this in the World War I era. In fact, this photograph would have been taken in late April, or during March 1919. A Liberty Loan was the name given to the U. S. Treasury's means of raising funds from the public via bond issues to pay for war work. The Fifth Liberty Loan, with the slogan "Finish The Job" was launched on 21 April, 1919, with a canvass period of three weeks: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C05E6DA1E39E13AB... More on Liberty Loans: www.answers.com/topic/liberty-loans And here's some information about the photographer, Gabriel Moulin: www.moulinstudios.com/history.htm As for the Magnavox, this is a vacuum tube amplifier with speaker horn. Electrically amplified sound was a relatively new technology in 1919, and in that year the Magnavox gained national attention after President Woodrow Wilson used a Magnavox to amplify a speech he gave in San Diego.

    If this is the first all-woman jury in Los Angeles, the forewoman was Nora Danforth. Other members were Florence bohan, Nina Cole, Anna Dillon, Hazel Norris, Bonna Meyers, Jane Hayes, Cora Brooks, Hattie Howard, Alice Walters, and Adeline Merry, according to the New York Times report on 12 November 1911. (They heard the case of a speeding motorcyclist.)
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it.

    The "12 angry women" tag is brilliant.
  • Trapac said:
    This is *so* interesting - I've had a look, and i can count eleven people there - just. (The presence of the 11th person seems to be indicated only be the top of her dark hat right at the back on the far right of the frame. Our twelfth lady seems to have vacated the chair on the left, leaving only a coat/cape? draped there to indicate her presence. Where did she go? Could she have been the photographer? Or is she in fact just peeking/hiding behind the extra-ordinarily large black hat of the lady sitting in the front/foreground of the image? :)
