    Text attached to the photo:
    To attempt new altitude record for women.  Mrs. Louise McPhertridge Thaden, woman flier, who is to attempt to establish a new altitude record for women in a 180 horsepower Travelair biplane with a Hisso motor.  She will carry 60 gallons of gas and expects to reach a height of 20,000 feet.  Photo shows Mrs. Thaden in the cockpit of the Travelair.  She will fly in the new altitude record attempt.
    I had it custom framed several years ago, with old barn wood to add to the provenance.
