Vintage 1920s 30s American Family Lot 3 Photos 3x4.75-3x4 Sepia Gelatin Orig
Original vintage 1930s sepia gelatin-silver snapshot lot of three photographs on photographic paper depicting American family life in outdoor domestic settings.
One image shows a multigenerational family group posed on the front steps of a clapboard house, with an older woman in a rocking chair behind a seated father holding a baby, a smiling mother beside him, and a young girl in a light dress and strap shoes at the left.
A second photograph presents three adults arranged vertically beside a wooden building, with a man seated on a ladder, a woman standing on the steps above him near a hayloft opening, and another woman in a light dress seated in the foreground.
The third snapshot depicts two men in suits and ties flanking an older woman in a long skirt and apron, all standing in a grassy yard between an early automobile and the side wall of a house, with additional cars and trees visible in the background.
On the reverse of the porch family print, a handwritten ink caption lists family names Herbert A. Breed, Barton W. Breed, a third Breed family member whose given name is difficult to decipher, Carolyn M. Simms, and Mrs. Carolyn L. Breed, followed by the year 1935, while another print back bears a small purple numeric mark and the third is blank.
The lot is offered as three loose unmounted and unframed original photographic prints only, with any brass display stand, handwritten size card, or other props visible in the listing images used solely for scale and presentation and not included.
Actual Measurements: approximately 3 x 4.75 in, 3 x 4.5 in, and 3 x 4 in.
