Dempster, Harriet M. Parsons, A. C. Lunn, Edwin B. Frost, Albert Einstein, Alexander Pflüger, S. Ginsberg, Oliver J. Lee, Esther L. Searles, Mary R. Calvert, George Van Biesbroeck, and George C. Blakslee.

The photograph measures 7.5" × 5.5" and arrives matted to fit a standard 8×10 frame, complete with foam core backing and a protective plastic sleeve—making it ready to display.
