Looking at other photos in the series, which have a date legible, this should be the first inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, March 4, 1913, as noted, for instance, in this source and also the date is noted by the Library of Congress.

Thank you for your information about the date and the event. We will update the source data and reload the description.

This Olympic Parade took place in midtown Manhattan, New York City.

And just like today, you couldn't escape political advertisements. I think this is the corner of Broadway and 5th Ave -- that looks like 200 5th Ave across to the left. See: graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/07/16/business/16office...

that was the garfield national bank's new headquarters, opened 1909. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E07E0DC123EE733A... the view in the photo was taken from the flatiron building.

The 1912 Olympic games were held in Stockholm, Sweden, from late June to late July. This event in New York City, on August 24, must have been part of a "welcome home" ceremony, for recognition of returning American athletes, and a celebration of their achievements.

Thomas Riley Marshall (1854–1925), 28th Vice President of the United States (1913–1921.) He was a native of Indiana and served the state as Governor from 1909 to 1913. Short but tolerable Wikipedia biography. His wife, Lois Irene Kimsey Marshall (b1979), was 19 years his junior.

Thanks! We'll add the additional identification to the source data and reload the description.
