Dr. Karl Francke (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Nathan Adams said:
That's quite a hairline!
swanq said:
This could be the German physician who argued in 1912 that tight skirts were producing a generation of knock-kneed women and should be made illegal. See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C00E4DD103AE633A...

The Sunday Oregonian, June 16, 1912, SECTION FIVE, Image 70 used this photo with the caption: "Dr. Karl Francke does not say limbs and feet; he says legs and knees. According to him, the knees of women bow inward because women swathe their legs in interfering garments like the hobble skirt. Dressmakers scoff at the scientific opinion and say that woman is no more knock-kneed than she was in the days of hoop." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1912-06-16/ed-1/se...

Gen. Brayton Ives (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Nathan Adams said:
Gen. Ives fought in the Civil War. This link has a picture from that time: www.picturehistory.com/product/id/16569 He was also president of the New York Stock Exchange & the Northern Pacific Railroad: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_C._Ives
Alexandrialeigh said:
Those eyebrows can't be that dark naturally, can they? Wow.
David Foster said:
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

A.E. Smith (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

swanq said:
Could this be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Smith ? One picture on the Wikipedia page has a similar hat and possibly the same neck and features. If so, he was a democratic politician in state government in New York during this period and became Governor in 1919. www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1495.html has a picture that looks even more like this one. That makes him Alfred Emmanuel Smith
Wystan said:
Alfred E. Smith, later the Governor of New York. He looks very young here, compared to his familiar image as the insouciant but unsuccessful Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in 1928.
Anne (LOC P&P) said:
swanq and Wystan: Looks like the same guy to me! We'll add his full name to the description next time we update.
Wystan said:
At the time of this photo (1913), Al Smith had just begun a term as Speaker of the New York State Assembly. @swanq: there is only one "m" in Emanuel . . . . LOC -- it looks like Smith was photographed on the steps of the New York Capitol, in Albany.
