Henry Haven Windsor Family July 23 1912

Henry Haven Windsor has published his magazine for ten years This photo of his family was taken two months after the Atlantic sank Wife is voting for Roosevelt in the upcoming election, his biggest fears. He is stumping for Wilson, who he thinks is a lot like his cousin Frank. The children are picture perfect, yet aware of the tension, of course. They borrowed the neighbor’s dog for the photos, glad it was not horse. Daughter Emily has joined the young new Progressive Party in town. She does not share this with her father, who would probably frown. Mother is reading a book about Guggenheim who died on the Titanic. It makes her feel uncomfortable about their ocean vacation, a little frantic. Henry is smiling for the photo, but his mind is planning his next lay out. He has published Popular Mechanics for ten years, his family shouts.
