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

    "Life is nothing if not a great adventure," said Helen Keller in her autobiography. What a brilliant woman to break through her disability to touch the world. Great reading.

    the 1913 International Flower show related to these photos was held at the Grand central palace. Unfortunately the building was demolished and I can't find any record of the eagles. The International Flower Show, co-sponsored with the New York Florist’s Club, was the grandest of the shows produced by The Horticultural Society. It was held at Grand Central Palace from 1913 to 1953 and later at The New York Coliseum through 1970. www.hsny.org/about_history.html

    I'm a little bit obsessed with ASM. Haha.

    I also have to say that she is given way less credit than she should be. Where would Helen Keller have gotten without her? Exactly!

    www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2909004787/ and www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2850356157/ are at the same event. Mrs Macy is Anne Sullivan Macy
  • Brenda Anderson said:
    I wonder if this might be the International Flower Show in New York City. The inaugural show was held in April 1913 and Helen Keller was reported to have visited there, as she was doing a speaking tour (her first in NY) at the time. (source, NY Times March 31, 1913, Monday ... "Helen Keller...appeared on the lecture platform for the first time in New York last night at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre.")
  • Brenda Anderson said:
    Further digging, and yes, this was in April 1913, per this story/photo in The Indianapolis Star, 14 April 1913, page 10, col 2 Famous Blind Girl Honored at Flower Show. Mrs John Macy, Miss Helen Keller -Copyright, International. "Miss Helen Keller, the famous deaf, dumb and blind woman, was one of the prominent visitors at the international flower show held in New York. She was presented with the prize American Beauty roses. She is shown with Mrs. John Macy of the presentation committee."
  • BobMeade said:
    Swang - Is "Mrs. John Macy of the presentation committee" the same Mrs. John A. Macy who was previously known as Anne Sullivan?
  • Brenda Anderson said:
    I'm sure it is... and I'm not 100% convinced that the Indianapolis Star was correct in their caption of "Mrs John Macy of the presentation committee". It is indeed Mrs John (Ann Sullivan) Macy, but was she really on the presentation committee?

    The caption reading "Walter Toliver" should be corrected (or noted, if contrary to any handwritten caption on the photo) to Walter R. Taliaferro. There are photos of Taliaferro throughout the SDASM for comparison and confirmation. Plus, this posting of the same photo with the SMU Libraries Digital Collection here on Flickr: See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_R._Taliaferro
