Unknown, ex-Alice (Mrs. Louis) Sipley (deceased), Philadelphia (1?)

Unknown, ex-Maxwell Whiteman (deceased), Philadephia . Portrait of laryngologist Jacob da Silva Solis-Cohen (1838-1927), reproduced in Traditions in Transition: Jewish Culture in Philadelphia, 1840-1940, edited by Gail F. Stern, Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies, 1989, p. 75. The photo is dated "ca. 1884," which is too early since Goldensky didn't emigrate to America until 1891 and didn't start his own business until 1895. Judging by Solis-Cohen's appearance, a date of about 1910 is more likely.
