This appears to be a formal pre-wedding portrait of the woman on the
left, Marion Cleveland, and her younger sister Esther Cleveland, daughter of Grover Cleveland, the only presidential child born in the White House. Marion’s wearing a
wedding dress without a veil, which is common for this kind of portrait
at this time period. Marion Cleveland was married on November 28, 1917. Had the photo been
taken after her marriage, she would have been Mrs. William Dell. Before
her marriage, however, she would have been referred to simply as “Miss
Cleveland”, which may explain the caption: Miss Cleveland and Esther
Cleveland. / src and hi-res: Shorpy
