Joseph Chamberlain was an influential British businessman, politician, and statesman. Despite never becoming Prime Minister, he is regarded as one of the most important British politicians of the late 19th century and early 20th century, as well as a colourful character and renowned orator. He was Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's father.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a Brazilian aviation pioneer, who designed, built, and flew the first practical dirigible balloons. He became the first person to demonstrate that routine, controlled flight was possible. Winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on October 19, 1901, on a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower, made him one of the most famous people in the world during the early 20th century.

Laura Spelman Rockefeller's head is huge in this photo. It does look like a head/hat was edited onto that body, especially when viewed close up. I downloaded the image, saw a blurry section above her head, and a white section around the right side of her face, and saw that his face and coat had been hand-outlined also. Possibly she had a blurred face, and the newspaper wanted a clear shot of her to publish? I did find another image online of this same train trip. She has on the same or a very similar dress coat.
