Des Moines, Iowa riverfront. April 21, 1919.
Officers and War Council of the American Red Cross, including President Wilson and former President Taft.
President Wilson was photographed with Red Cross dignitaries, including former President Taft, on this day in 1919. Most of the men photographed were wearing frock coats, which remained full daily formal wear at that time (they weren't the equivalent of tuxedos) even as Edwardian suits were coming in. The latter were regarded as less formal.
