A headline news story appeared today that reported on president-elect
Donald Trump's meeting with
the New York Times editorial board. My eye was immediately drawn to the large photograph of
Thomas Edison on the wall behind Trump's campaign manager,
Kellyanne Conway. Many
other recognizable people of note are there as well. From what I can find out, those are all autographed
pictures of people who have visited the boardroom. I have identified as many as I can. A couple I recognize,
but cannot put a name to them. Please let me know if you can name others. (See

Google Image Search
 I tried using Google's
'Image Search' feature for some the photos I could not identify, with mixed results. There seems to
be a better chance for success - at least for people - if there is an exact copy of the same photo in
their database. The picture to the left, which is image #5 in the New York Times photo above,
turned out to be a Jewish journalist named Theodor Herzl, of whom I had never heard. I used an image editor to cut it out of
the larger photo.
To test the Google Image Search, go to www.Google.com and then
click on the "Images" text link in the upper right corner of the page. Next, click on the little camera
icon on the right side of the area where you would otherwise type in your search term. That opens an
area to enter the URL of an image that is already residing somewhere on the Internet, or you can upload
an image from your computer (or phone).
Give it a try yourself. The URL for the image of Theodor Herzl is:
