reports that he was on his way back to Peru after a period in exile following his ouster from power. This picture is on a ship and therefore could have been when he arrived in New York from London on the Carmania.
In his second term, he cultivated relations with the US. See

Richard Arthur Norton: The New York Times articles cited by swanq, and another Bain photo that we have of this man identify him as Don Roberto E. Leguia, first vice president of Peru. See: www.loc.gov/pictures/item/ggb2006012709. We'll fill in the name next time we update the record.
