Marconi or not Marconi???

Hello All

I need your help....let me explain.

There is a photograph in my possesion that belonged to my Great-Grandmother. It was taken in 1927 in Colon Lima, Peru (or so it says on the back of the photo)

The gentleman on the left is my Great-Grandmothers Uncle (Uncle Billy) who I'm led to believe was a bit of a Globetrotter. We were always told that the man on the right was Marconi, but looking at other photos of Marconi I don't believe this is him.

Do you know who it is?

I've searched the internet trying to find out who may have been in Lima in 1927 but I'm coming up a blank.

I'm assuming it was someone well known, possibly from an engineering or technology background otherwise my Great-Grandmother wouldn't have kept it in her photograph collection all these years.

If you can help solve this ongoing family mystery, I'd love to hear from you...!  Blush

  • Definitely not Marconi, sorry.



    You can see a picture of Marconi c.1927 at g4usb.net/.../marconi.jpg and the man sitting to the right of you Great-Grandmother's Uncle looks nothing like him.



    Don't recognise who it is either but others may be able to help.



    Best of luck!
