Mr. and Mrs. J. Douglas Robinson were received by the Japanese emperor when they visited Tokyo in 1910, according to reports in the New York Times and elsewhere. Edith Kane may be the daughter of Tuxedo Club founder Grenville Kane (he had a daughter Edith born in 1884, married in 1911, so she'd be in the news during the right window of time).

Edith Kane was soon to become the wife of George Fisher Baker Jr.

hey, we just had a photo of George F. Baker, Jr. in this recent collection.

This photograph was probably taken at the Meadow Brook Field on June 14, 1913 on the occassion of the Newport Cup polo match between America and England. See comparison photograph of this high society event, including similar grandstand dressed with diagonal Stars and Stripes Flag in the background here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3597340687/

Thanks to all for your comments! lifeasdaddy: It does appear quite likely these ladies are at the polo match in question. We will add to the record when we update. Good eye!

I'm going to be talking about how Flickr relates to archives access in a few weeks - do you think putting this image on Flickr has helped laypeople find this image and use it for their needs, or has it just driven more users to ask for the actual photograph in the National Archives? Thanks.

Hi photosharp, Thanks including the National Archives in your presentation. So far, anecdotally, we have not seen an increase in requests for reproductions of photographs since we joined the Flickr community. It seems that making photos available on Flickr has allowed the public and researchers to find images like this one of Nixon and Elvis and use them for their needs. Interestingly, althought Nixon and Elvis is the most requested photo at the National Archives, it is not the most viewed on our Flickr photostream. This photo of two women at U.S. Steel in oxygen masks has gotten almost three times as many views (3,064 compared to 1,087 views): www.flickr.com/photos/usnationalarchives/3660777810/. Good luck with your presentation! Thanks, Jill (U.S. National Archives)
