    This photo is very beautiful as well. It captures the era very nicely. Her dress is so neat and I love the flowers. I have never seen a picture of the actual Helen Keller. She is lovely.

    Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to graduate from college. She began writing when she was 11 years old! She was an extreme socialist and her political views were very influential.

    Helen Keller is one of the most influential woman in history, she is a mark of inspiration and hope for everyone thinking they can't accomplish something. This photo sticks out to me because it shows Helen Keller in a different light, it shows the feminist side to her. A lot of people just see Helen Keller as a deaf and a mute, but this picture shows her in a dress and she is wearing flowers to symbolize a soft, womanly side to her.

    Sybil Appleton (1899-1973) worked with the American Committee for Devastated France (ACDF) in 1921: www.afs.org/archon/index.php?p=collections/controlcard&am... She married Oliver Wolcott (1891-1967) in 1922, and they had three children (Helen, Augusta, and Oliver). Here's Sybil and Oliver's tombstone, elsewhere on Flickr:

    Looks like one of 7 pictures in this set taken at the International Flower Show, Grand Central Palace: "The Second International Flower Show, with which The Horti- cultural Society of New York has been directly connected, was held in the Grand Central Palace, March 17 to 23, in cooperation with the New York Florists' Club." archive.org/stream/journalofhorticu02hort/journalofhortic... An account of a later show describes young girls, "Debutantes of this and other seasons" recruited to sell bags of lavender. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60711FE345D1473... Irene Gibson is noted as having sold flowers and seeds at the show on March 20, 1915. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20C14F73F5D1A72...
