    I think this may be a wife from the Loew Theater family.
  • Steep Spark said:
    Possibly Mrs William Goadby Loew, or E. Victor Loew - society leaders of New York? Their wives are mentioned in New York Times articles of that era as hostess of balls, events - with the likes of Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Mrs Stuyvesent Fish all part of the Newport Circle. She would have attended balls and dinners at Crossways, the Breakers, Beaulieu all famous mansions of New York Society of the Gilded Age.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called 1910s Fashion, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    The name "Mrs. W. G. Loew" is actually inscribed on the negative. The Bain collection has other photos of her in which she is identified in full as Mrs. William Goadby Loew.

    A New York Times report on the America vs. England polo match, held at Meadow Brook, near Hempstead, Long Island, on June 14, tells us that the Goadby Loew girls all wore white on that occasion also.
  • Birstall46 said:
    The girls are, left to right, Florence (1901), Evelyn (1903) and Barbara (1899). The youngest Winifred was born in 1909, so I assume would have been too young to attend.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Birstall46: Thanks for the further identifications of the daughters in the photograph. We will update the record with more information.

    Wow – that New York Times write-up of the (April, 1898) wedding was a trip! They had a 50-piece orchestra in the church to play the wedding music. A "breakfast reception", immediately following, at the home of the bride's parents (258 Madison Avenue) ... where "a light breakfast was served to 500 people" ... former President and Mrs. Benjamin Harrison were in attendance. They sailed on the Britannic for their two-month honeymoon in Europe ... (looks like there was enough money to go around). That would have been a hell of a wedding to shoot carrying around 4x5 cameras. (Another photo of Mrs. Loew here.)
  • Steep Spark said:
    Whoa! All for the low price cost of $300.00 - (joking) compared to today's cost which would be about $3 mil for that. What a party that would have been.

    I did some research and found she is Florence Bellows Baker Loew. I started an entry in Wikipedia for her: Florence Bellows Baker Loew (1876–1936) was a horse woman and philanthropist and award winning horticulturist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Bellows_Baker
