The title of that picture is:
230px-1892_Pledge_of_Allegiance.jpg
It wasn't until after I posted that I remembered that 1892 was the date of Bellamy's authorship of the Pledge.

See here for where the photo and an explanation are:

On a second (*better*) look, I think buccaneer81 is right, it's probably just before FDR changed the salute.
