This is another photo of Latham Stig

Of all photos you have here under A.C.H. Latham, this is basically the only one with any relevancy to the man. One more photo that depicts the two (known) Antoinettes he brought with him to USA is also shown, but I think that was taken after Latham already had departed. Stig I have now looked through the rest of the photos, and there are a couple more that shows the man and two additional ones which depicts one of his Antoinettes in 1910, but that's it

This is a very odd photo to be in H Latham's Collection. Latham flow his last flight in USA on Jan 10th, 1911 and on Jan 30th that year he left by boat for Japan. After this Latham more or less gave up flying, only performing very sporadically in 1911. I find it impossible that any such advanced aeroplane, such as the one depicted, would have been built in USA by 1911. The written text on the photo says Commemorating Beacheys and the way the front is draped in a US flag it rather looks like someone is commemorating his death, which of course was not until 1915. Unfortunately no clue what it is we are looking at. Stig
