That dude on the right hasn't yet got the concept: He thinks it's a peep show. Great image!

Wish I knew the proper names of some of the feathered hats these women are wearing to add them as tags - some interesting fashion history in this shot!

This photo most likely dates from 1911 or soon after. Though the legislature of California passed a bill granting women the vote as early as 1893, it was vetoed by Governor Henry Markham. In 1896, a referendum to legalize woman suffrage in the state failed. It was not until the election of October, 1911, that another referendum passed by a large margin, and California's women voted for the first time later that year.

Whyaduck: Thanks for the information about the probable date. We'll add the information in the source data and reload the description.

I work in San Francisco. Nobody around here calls it "Frisco". Ever.

According to the findagrave site, his wife was the former Germaine Carriere. A soprano of that name performed in the opera Julien en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_(opera) in 1913 in Paris, at the Opéra-Comique.

is he wearing high heels?

Mrs Alan Johnstone was a Pinchot, sister to Amos and Gifford. See NYT article from 1892 at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D00E6DA1F31E033A... "Miss Antoinette E. Pinchot was married yesterday to the Hon. Alan Johnstone of England Instead of taking place in St. George's Church as originally intended, the ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot of Gramercy Park."

Addition to Swang comment: Amos with his sister, a wife of a foreign dipolmat - children of lumber baron James W. Pinchot, a founder of the Conservation Movement - Amos, part of the "Bull Moose" in 1912, and aquaintance of President Theodore TEDDY Roosevelt - later labeled as a pacifist, frequent speaker, writer, and author - spoke against large military buildup, founded isolationist group that dissolved after US entered WWII - was also against the growing role of big business in national politcs - moralist - rumored to have unsuccessfully attempted suicide out of depression over WWII Lady Alan - AKA Antoinette Pinchot - society leader, reputedly entertained in London at the Ritz, Edwardian fashionable - see also: www.yourbrotherkings.com/?p=100

Slight correction. James W. was not a founder of the conservation movement, except indirectly. He was the father of Amos, Antoinette, and Amos Pinchot. Gifford was encouraged by his father to study forestry, so Gifford, who went on to found the Forest Service in 1905, credited his father with being the "Father of Forestry." But James was a wealthy New York businessman, not a lumber baron. The Pinchot family funded the establishment of the Yale School of Forestry in 1900, and James probably contributed the bulk of the initial $150,000 and possibly the eventual $300,000. Gifford and others were the founders of the Conservation Movement during TR's presidency. In 1912, Amos and Gifford were major supporters of TR's third-party run for the presidency.
