About the Photos
Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here. All of these images (including "derivative works") are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions and may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise used for commercial purposes without permission.

The photograph was made about 1920 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I would like to have comments about the picture and its possible origin. I found it with my family photographs, without any identification as to the name of the group. It does not seem to be a picnic as there is no food shown. People of all ages shown. Brownie held camera shown in right front row. Men generally have shirts and ties. Church group? Maybe. - Robert Edward McKenna
