pixeljones says:James Beauchamp "Champ" Clark (1850 - 1921)Speaker of the House (1911 - 1919), Missouri SenatorThis picture may be from the Democratic Convention of 1912, where Clark was initially considered a frontrunner for the Presidential nomination. By the end, though, the nomination went to Woodrow Wilson.

Dominus Vobiscum says:Hand tinted slide - This rock cut temple was built (one of two side by side) by Ramses II, 19th dynasty, (1314-1224 B.C.) honoring the Gods Amon Re (Amun Re) Re Horakhte, near Aswan. In 1966 to 1968, they were cut away from the rock face in large pieces, moved to higher ground and reassembled, to save them from the rising water level, due to the Aswan Dam. The facade statues are 67 feet tall. Scale is evident by tourist standing in foreground.
