Tennis star and grandson of the railroad magnate, here is Wikipedia blurb: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gould_II He married Anne Douglass Graham.

Harry Angstrom: Thank you for the information! We can expand this record to identify him as Jay Gould II, pictured with his wife Anne Douglass Graham (maiden name).

Frank Gould was a philanthropist and the son of financier Jay Gould. Frank Jay was the owner of a string of French Riviera casinos and hotels, which he leased to a French syndicate. On December 1, 1901 he married Ethel Kelly and had two children. They divorced in 1908. The Wichita Daily Times, Wichita Falls, Texas, wrote: "Frank Jay Gould and his wife who was Ethel Kelly have separated and it is said Mrs. Gould has brought action looking for a legal separation. Jealousy on the part of Mr. Gould, due, it is said, to the homage paid Mrs. Gould, who is a beautiful woman, by other men." I really like this picture because the guys in that time all dressed similarly; None of the guys stand out, yet the women stand out because of their nice furs.

So sharp

I started a biography of him for Wikipedia in 2005: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Jay_Gould

Looks like a drawing to me.

Looks like they drew on a photograph to emphasize/sharpen the shapes--you see that a lot in this collection.

Why would he want to capture the sad faces of his children? The little girls do not seem to be living a happy life. I feel that he should have dressed them differently to capture their unique identities.

Yikes! Unfortunately they remind me of the twins in Kubrick's "The Shining". is.gd/ayf0

The children's names are Helen and Dorothy. See another photo and find out why they are so sad in the comments here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2449479844/ Their parents divorced and re-married, several times, and the kids ended up living with an aunt.
