April 26, 1918, is a documented date when Ruth Law Oliver landed in Washington, D.C. A contemporary diary entry describes watching her land on the Ellipse, south of the White House, during the Liberty Bond festivities. I suspect that this may have been captured on that day. The photographer is unknown.Measures about 2.5 x 4.5 inches.
