On page 98 of the February/March issue of American Heritage there is a fascinating photograph that bears the caption “The actress Anna Held poses with her husband, Florenz Ziegfeld, and their entourage on a Colorado Midland locomotive in 1904.”

Unfortunately for me you do not point out which of the women in the picture is Ms. Held, nor do you indicate which of the men is Mr. Ziegfeld.

Since I don’t have a clue as to the appearance of either, I was hoping you might inform me.
