This glass negative shows three couples posed together: John E. Sloane and his wife, Secretary Daniels and his wife, and Thomas Edison and his wife. The "Secy Daniels" in the caption most likely refers to Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy from 1913 to 1921, and Edison, the prolific inventor, worked with the Navy during the First World War through the Naval Consulting Board. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a photo agency whose negatives are held by the Library of Congress. The names and any date came from the agency's own notes, which are unverified, so the sitters' roles are best read as the caption gives them.
