    And this was taken at the Democratic National Convention of 1912 outside Baltimore's Fifth Regiment Armory. See adjacent photograph www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3239319120/in/p... The man at right of frame in this photograph is wearing much the same convention regalia on his chest as is being worn by Justus Goebel in the linked photograph.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! We'll add to the source data and reload the description.

    One wonders what Mrs. William Howard Taft -- first lady, wife of the Republican President of the U. S. -- was doing at the Democratic National Convention? Okay, I found the answer in this paragraph from her bio as first lady: "In July 1912, Nellie Taft again broke precedent when she attended the National Democratic Convention in Baltimore, becoming not only the first incumbent First Lady to attend a convention, but the only one to ever attend that of the opposition party. Although Taft was defeated by Democrat Woodrow Wilson, it was a partial success to Nellie Taft: her ambition as Election Day neared was to see Roosevelt defeated. The day before she left the White House, Nellie Taft's genuine view on suffrage made itself known: she ascended to a prominent place on a grandstand to review a parade of suffragists and encourage their demand of the incoming president to support a woman's right to vote." Here's another photo by Bain of the same group:

    Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, Pres. Theodore Roosevelt's second wife and first lady. Judging that this is from the same set as a photo of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., it is no earlier than 1910. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Roosevelt
  • Wystan said:
    No, that would be Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Junior -- wife of the former President's son. She was the former Eleanor Butler Alexander. They were wed on June 20, 1910. This photo was taken on June 17, 1913. [Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt would have been 52 in 1913.]
  • Wystan said:
    Another Bain/LOC photo, taken the same day, shows a woman identified as Mrs. Roosevelt at the race track, :

    New York society bluebloods in attendance at the horse races at Belmont Park, on June 17, 1913. A story in the New York Times on the 18th reported the roster of winners that day: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9406E...
