    I think this is Mrs James Rolph - Mayor of San Francisco (1912-1931) and Governor of California (1931-34) capitolmuseum.ca.gov/firstladies.aspx?content2=1712
  • Joe said:
    Yes, that must be Annie Marshall Reid Rolph, the mayor's wife, probably voting for the first time. In a referendum, California's voters approved women's suffrage in 1911. This photo probably dates from 1912. The San Francisco public library has this photo of a considerably older Annie Rolph with her husband "Sunny Jim", at the polls once again, in 1930 when he was running for Governor.
  • David Gallagher said:
    I think you've made a pretty good assessment of this, excellent work.
  • Kellan said:
    Is that cylinder the ballot box?
  • Joe said:
    Thanks. The cylinder does look like it might be the ballot box. It's numbered, and there's a key hanging from the end of it.

    Two clocks. To be sure, to be sure?

    1,55pm Carol - you missed the clocks in this one, have you still got sand in your ears from your holliers? Just looking at the oil lamp as a standby, you couldn't trust the electricity in those days, the ESB were forever going on strike!

    Nick Stewart You can never have too many clocks!
