Francis B. Sayre (1885-1972): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bowes_Sayre

Francis Bowes Sayre married Jessie Woodrow Wilson, the daughter of President Woodrow Wilson, on November 25, 1913. Several photos of Mr. Sayre were taken when the forthcoming nuptials were announced, and were circulated by the Bain News Agency:

Francis Bowes Sayre was born in 1885, two years before his bride, Jessie Woodrow Wilson, daughter of U. S. President Woodrow Wilson. Sayre was 28 when they were wed, on November 25, 1913. They had two sons and a daughter, all now deceased. She died in 1933, at 45; he in 1972, at 86. His Wikipedia page (not yet complete) shows yet another Bain/LOC photo of him at this desk, but facing the other way. That photo has not yet been posted on Flickr: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_B._Sayre. But this photo, nearly identical, has been posted: More photos of Sayre at the time of his engagement to Jessie Woodrow Wilson:

Wystan: thank you for your information about Sayre and for linking these two images.
