"Edith White Bolling Galt Wilson (October 15, 1872 — December 28, 1961), second wife of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, was First Lady of the United States from 1915 to 1921. She has been labeled "the Secret President" and "the first woman to run the government" for the role she played after her husband suffered a severe stroke in October 1919. She has also been called "the first female president of the United States."

A double of her is shown here:

"Rudolph Blankenburg (February 16, 1843 – April 12, 1918) was a businessman and manufacturer, who became a politician and elected mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, leading a reform administration from 1912 to 1916." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Blankenburg

B-59: Thanks for the additional information on Blankenburg; we'll include his full name (and the full names of the other persons in the photo) next time we update the description.

Who is the Mr. Blankenburgh on the photo? I am Chris Blankenburgh, born and living in the Netherlands together with lots of other Blankenburghs. In the city of Utrecht you find three buildings "Blankenburgh", "Klein (Small) Blankenburgh", and "Groot (Great) Blankenburgh" Could anybody tell me more about the Mr. Blankenburgh behind President Wilson? Please mail to blanblot@zonnet.nl. Thank You!

The right-hand column describes the plans. The President and his wife would drive from Hoboken to New Tork City, where the celebrations would be on Fifth Avenue and at Carnegie Hall.
