Poor Catherine. She lived in deep Poverty. Look at her torn and worn out clothes.

You can see her top is pinned together to make up for the missing buttons.

Caption appears to be, " J. P. Morgan in London 20 years ago"
swanq said:
A somewhat similar photo of Morgan, at hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b40359 , has a copyright registration date of 1902. I'm not certain, but I think the photo here is probably earlier. The "20 years ago" could well be relative to his death in 1913.
BobMeade said:
I agree swang that the pic shown here looks like it is earlier. That 1902 pic shows his hair a bit sparser, and a bit whiter. Although with Morgan's known aversion to having his photographic portrait made due to the problem with his schnozzola, it's quite possible either or both have been retouched in the nose area. Possibly other areas too.
Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks! We'll adjust the title to reflect what it says on the negative and reload the description to Flickr.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Jewish People and History - Ancient and Modern, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Saul שאול Davis said:
Does anyone know what a "Jewish New Year Parade" is? As far as I know there is no such thing, and a google search got me nowhere (except back here)! Maybe they mean Tashlikh or maybe Jews at a parade on 1 January!?
Helene Smith said:
i have never heard of this before, either... very curious... i will do some hunting when i can, too...
Ari Hahn said:
Probably a misnomer. The photographer or person cataloging it noted many people dressed up and walking in the same direction (to the synagogue) and called it a parade.
Lanterna said:
Building is too windowed for a warehouse - maybe a factory or even a school. There's a wall plaque just before the right border; maybe with sufficient resolution it could be read. Agree that 'parade' is misnomer/misinterpretation, but Sept 12, 1912 was indeed the beginning of Rosh Hashonah. They must have been on the way to services..
