Pres. Wilson and Mrs. Galt, Phila., 10/8/15 (LOC)

  • B-59 said:
    "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."

    John Francis Hylan www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6233903
  • TVL1970 said:
    The curved detail on the top edge of the wall places Mayor Hylan at the Polo Grounds, as he poses prior to throwing out a ceremonial first pitch. (See comment by Jon (LOC P&P) below). The date inscribed (in reverse) on the bottom of image reads "10/6/24," which would make the occasion Game 3 of the 1924 World Series, between the New York Giants and Washington Senators. The first game of the series to be played at the Polo Grounds. The Giants would defeat the Senators that day, by a score of 6-4, but the Senators would ultimately win the World Series (their first World Series Championship) in seven games.

    Thanks TVL1970. The New York Times article published on October, 7th, 1924 says Hylan posed for the photographers with a ball, but didn't actually throw it.
