    Richard, Thank You for all your input on these photos. It makes them so much more interesting and easy to access for some of us. Have question, There appears to be a date on the lower left edge of this one I can't quite make out. I think it reads __/17/17. Maybe you can make it out . My eyes are to old and tired. Again Thank You.
  • Wystan said:
    I think that date may be 1912. LOC could check on the original negative to be sure. His brother, Benjamin Guggenheim, drowned in the sinking of the Titanic, April 20, 1912.
  • Pete (LOC P&P) said:
    The date is quite hard to read, but I think it's 9/17/1912. Thanks for spotting it, Mona.
  • Betty Berg said:
    No, I thank you. I am honored to participate. However in saying that I have restudied the photo and am convinced the year is 1917. The top of the 7 is too square to be a 2. But the day of the month is rounded, it could be a 12. That 9 is backwards to the other numbers, (it messes with me. ) 9/12/17 looks good to me. Maybe we'll get lucky and find where it was used, and it may remain a mystery. Either way It Is History.. I truly enjoy this stream.

    Thanks Lu, I knew I had seen this one but kept forgetting to go back to it. It looks like the same session, at a slightly different angle. Pete, the date on this one is on the upper left side, below the white tape about an inch. It is more deteriorated than the other. :(

    Guggenheim was a copper magnate, president of the American Smelting Refining Company. Photo date is inscribed on negative, in reverse: 8-6-[19]13.

    This is on board a ship. August 7, 1913 NYT lists Isaac Guggenheim as a passenger on the Imperator. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9404E0DF123FE633A... Perhaps the journalist got the brothers mixed up, or perhaps both brothers were on board.
